Abhishek, I'll let you decide whether you want to change your report or not. I will update my comments before submitting to the board based on the current state of the report.
RE your website, I'll give you a couple of examples of things you really need to fix before graduation: http://gobblin.incubator.apache.org/contributor/ - most links on this page just go to "#" https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GOBBLIN/Gobblin+Home - your website links to here, but it gives a page not found..
