Thanks. I augmented the report a bit:

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?
