Thank you for all the comments. Below is a revised version. Please feel free to modify it as you see fit, or comment.
To answer some of the questions: -The presentation at Duke: I was invited to give a talk in the database group at Duke Computer Science Department, and I talked about Rya. I did not think about advertising it on the dev list - I'll do that next time. The presentation was not recorded, but we can post the slides on the website, once we have one. -Biggest roadblock to a fist release: I think it is our lack of familiarity with the process, so I think we need to become familiar with it. This is what I found http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html. Is there another place we should look? Thank you, Adina ============== Rya Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /rēə/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data. Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Populate the website for the project 2. Become familiar with the release process and have a first release as part of the Apache 3. Create a "how to" document to explain the ways new contributors can become involved in the project, so we increase the size of the community. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? All initial committers submitted their ICLAs and are subscribed to the dev and private mailing lists. There are 32 subscribers to the dev list. The initial committers are learning to use the Apache infrastructure and processes. We gave a presentation on Rya at Duke University, trying to increase awareness about the project. How has the project developed since the last report? Infrastructure is now set up (mailing lists, repositories, JIRA, etc) Getting the code reviewed for final publication took about 3 weeks, which was longer than we expected, but the code is now imported into the Apache git repository. We are working on creating a website for the project. Date of last release: Not applicable - the code was just imported into Apache repository When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
