Report from the Apache Tiles Project ## Description: Apache Tiles is a free open-sourced templating framework for Java applications. Based upon the Composite pattern it is built to simplify the development of user interfaces.
## Activity: Apache Tiles remains an stable but low traffic project. There remains two responsible and responsive PMC ready to help users and discuss development ideas. Other PMC come out to help when needed. Currently no members are active in development, and no contributions have come in. The majority of activity happens on non-apache sites like the StackExchange forums. StackExchange sees a few questions and answers each day or two. This quarter saw input from an emeritus member Antonio, who had contributed much of the rewrite to Apache Tiles-3. While Antonio looks not to actively contribute again, but is using Tiles-3 again and will offer related contributions and ideas when appropriate. ## Health report: Apache Tiles is a stable project seeing little new momentum. There are currently two responsive PMC, other PMC help out with votes when needed. An initial effort was made to subscribe the StackExchange traffic into the users mailing list, without luck. Since this is the best representation of active traffic that we have this effort should be retried. Current members need to be reaching out to other forums to show that the Apache community is still there for them. Everyone is aware of the how little momentum the project has, but it does not feel abandoned by members, nor not in use by the public. The pending patch release really should be made the next quarter so to verify the presence of 3+ PMC, as described above. ## Issues The board requested last report that less emphasis on the output of the health reporter be used, and a more direct statement used to describe the low health status that the project holds. Hopefully this has been addressed this report. ## Releases: No releases were made this quarter. There is still a patch release pending, no action has been taken so far.
