Agree there has been a big dropoff in the dev@ activity - not sure how much we can blame this on the Gitter chat (which has not been as quiet), but we should refocus our activity here on this list. I know I am partially to blame as I have not been able to contribute much these months - it's been quite hectic with work; lots of documents, emails and calls, and I have not been able to help where I should. I must admit I have lacked motiviation to help on the remaining IP review - it's not something that is too easy to pick up late at night when the kids are at bed.. I might not be alone here - but we can make this manageable by progressing step by step. Andy - do you think if we don't include a repository in graduation it would be easy to add back on later from GitHub? As it's not SVN it is not as easy to keep around; I know this helped in Jena, where you had some "extra stuff" at an SVN tag that you could pick up again at a later time. Perhaps we could do some kind of "legacy" or "sandbox" apache-taverna git repository with specific branches under there? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes The University of Manchester http://www.esciencelab.org.uk/ http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
