I started a draft assessment - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Apache+Maturity+Model+Assessment+for+MXNet based on my personal view. Please keep in mind I'm new to the project and Apache (just attended my first ApacheCon!!). The items I was not sure myself I marked as "???".
Jim et all - looking for your guidance if the assessment should be discussed further within PPMC, on private@ and next steps.
