## Community Health:
Developer email and commit activity are still good. Some decrease in
activity
due to retirement (from his employer, not from the project) of Mike
Beckerle,
who remains our PMC Chair but is less active doing actual development work
now.
The cybersecurity community, which is the major user community for Daffodil,
is notoriously silent about usage, so despite known new users in Canada,
there
is very little activity on the users mailing list.
In early march we added access for a new contributor.
