Folks I've seen very little traffic for the last few months, while this is not necessarily an issue in the short term it seems to reflect a general long term trend of lack of activity after the initial flurry that occurred when the podling was first established and put together the initial release. I've seen a bit of discussion around adoption in other communities but nothing that appears to have yet gone anywhere.
I am concerned that there is perhaps no longer a viable community around this podling especially given the withdrawal of several folks and strong objections to technical direction from others. The technical direction is not really a problem since the ASF encourages, allows and promotes competing technological approaches and the Foundation itself stays out of the technical direction of projects. However if there is no longer a viable community here then at some point you have to start thinking about other options e.g. retirement or leaving the Incubator for another venue I.e. returning to GitHub Do folks still think that it is possible to build something that will actually be adopted by the other involved communities? Do people still think this project has/can build the necessary momentum to move forwards towards graduation in the long term? Rob
