In the board report guidelines <https://www.apache.org/foundation/board/reporting#guidelines>, project state is required to be described using the following keywords:
- *New:* a top-level project that's just getting started - *Ongoing*, with high, moderate or low activity, which you might quantify if appropriate - *Dormant:* not much happening on the code, but at least 3 PMC members ready to engage if needed - *At risk:* not enough active PMC members, or a significant number of contributors left the project, etc. - *Considering moving to the Attic:* a project that's about to move to the Attic, or discussing that IMO, Log4net can be classified as "at risk", right?
