Here's my draft for this period's Incubator report for Taverna.. Sorry I didn't have time to write a short one!
Edit at https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/September2016 or reply here. Taverna is a domain-independent suite of tools used to design and execute data-driven workflows. Taverna has been incubating since 2014-10-20. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Project maturity evaluation and graduation 2. Complete IP/license review of unreleased repositories 3. Further engaging user/devops community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Preparing to graduate. How has the community developed since the last report? The community is moving towards graduation, by preparing a Graduation Maturity Assessment https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TAVERNADEV/2016-03+Taverna+Graduation+Maturity+Assessment While we wished we could have released all of Taverna's git repositories through the Incubator before graduating, we realize that with limited developer time, getting all of them to a cleanly releasable state could remove focus from development of the core repositories. As we an important point of Incubator releases is to ensure the project understands the ASF release process, including release review and voting, IP management and licensing compatibility; as well as accepting contributions. We believe we have gained that after effectively 8 software releases https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/taverna/source/ and 7 GSOC/student contributors. We have however identified the need for a License Review of the remaining git repositories that have not yet been formally released through the Apache Incubator (e.g. to ensure ASF file headers), which we are completing at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TAVERNADEV/2016-09+License+review dev@taverna mailing lists stats: Jun 2016: 347 Jul 2016: 221 Aug 2015: 170 users@taverna: Jun 2016: 4 Jul 2016: 2 Aug 2015: 4 JIRA issues over last 90 days: 34 created 12 resolved How has the project developed since the last report? The release of the Command Line and Engine was a major milestone for the project after joining Apache. Two successful GSOC students have added support for Docker and Common Workflow Language. A third student has further developed the Taverna Mobile app. Another student has contributed a plugin for OGC/GIS geographical web services.
