Hi,

I update the draft according to Chris and Justin's suggestions. If there is
no more suggestion, I will update it to the confluence.

IoTDB is a data store for managing large amounts of time series data such
as timestamped data from IoT sensors in industrial applications.

IoTDB has been incubating since 2018-11-18.

1. Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

- Make the community (both the contributors and committers/PPMCs) more
diverse  and learn to discuss things on the mailing list.

- More committers should know how to release a version.

- Write more documentation to help new contributors.

2. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

- No

3. How has the community developed since the last report?

- Some new contributors joined the community.  E.g., PR#339 comes from a
new contributor and it is really an interesting feature.

- Some contributors (who are not committers yet) are more active than
before. E.g., Boris Zhu and Jack Tsai.

- More users began to report their issues. E.g.,  issue #171, #184 and #186.

As all the above contributions and contributors are not from the
institutions/companies where initial committers are, we think it is a good
signal that indicates more guys noticing the community.

4. How has the project developed since the last report?

- IoTDB releases its first Apache version: v0.8.0 !

- IoTDB is more stable and the performance is far better than before.
However, the version is incompatible with previous version (which are
released before IoTDB is denoted to ASF).

- In v0.8.0, many issues are resolved (see release notes:
http://iotdb.apache.org/#/Materials/Release%20Notes )

5. How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add
your own commentary.

Have your mentors been helpful?

- Yes

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling through
the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues that need to be
addressed.

- They are helpful, especially in the process of releasing the first
version.
