Here it is: >>>>>> ManifoldCF PMC Chair: Karl Wright ([email protected]) Date: August 2015
Project description ============== ManifoldCF is an effort to provide an open source framework for connecting source content repositories like Microsoft Sharepoint and EMC Documentum, to target repositories or indexes, such as Apache Solr, OpenSearchServer or ElasticSearch. ManifoldCF also defines a security model for target repositories that permits them to enforce source-repository security policies. Releases ======== ManifoldCF graduated from the Apache Incubator on May 16, 2012. Since then, there have been ten major releases, including a 1.9 and 2.1 release on May 3 and 4, 2015. The next pair of major releases is scheduled for August 31, 2015. ManifoldCF is still in the position of supporting both a legacy set of releases (1.x), and a non-backwards-compatible set of releases (2.x). The 1.10 release is planned to be the last major release of the 1.x series of releases. Committers and PMC membership ============================= The last committer we signed up was Kishore Kumar on April 28, 2015. Mailing list activity ===================== Mailing list has moderately active. Most of our connectors now have significant use cases and constituencies. We are participating in Google Summer of Code this year, and expect new connectors to come from that. Dev list comments for this period centered around the ManifoldCF 2.1 and 1.9 releases, and occasional user questions. I am unaware of any mailing-list question that has gone unanswered. Outstanding issues ================== Release upload to the dist.apache.org svn repository is quite slow, and takes well over an hour for a single ManifoldCF release candidate. We raised this issue with Infra originally by posting to the Infra list, but did not manage to resolve it. The problem was originally noted in uploads to people.apache.org. We were told to migrate to svn for release candidate availability, which we did, only to find that it was no faster than uploading to people.apache.org. I finally raised a specific ticket - INFRA-9519 - when it became clear that no progress had been made. Infra has responded that this is a known issue that they need to work on long-term. Branding ======== We continue to believe we are now compliant with Apache branding guidelines, with the possible exception of (TM) signs in logos from other Apache products that don't have any such marks. We submitted ManifoldCF to the trademark registration service and received word that our trademark application is now pending. <<<<<< Any comments? Karl
