Hi Folks, Report is below, please check and augment if you have time https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2017 Lewis
JoshuaJoshua is a statistical machine translation toolkitJoshua has been incubating since 2016-02-13.Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make another Apache Joshua incubating release (7.0.0). 2. Identifying specific use cases that Joshua might excel at. 3. Attracting active developers and users.Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to beaware of? NoneHow has the community developed since the last report?The community mailing lists continue to see a few new usersrequiring assistance with using the project.Questions have been answered in reasonable time. Community building continues to be the biggest challenge for Joshua rightnow.How has the project developed since the last report?The PPMC is actively working towards a 7.0.0 releasecandidate which will essentially be a re-modularization ofthe Joshua source code for distribution and hopefully improved consumption as a dependency within other projects.We have seen a few pull requests logged specifically addressingsource code formatting, this is a positive.How would you assess the podling's maturity?Please feel free to add your own commentary.
