Hi, I have been researching Trafodion's current status and want to start a discussion to understand as to what needs to be done to get Trafodion to graduate.
Trafodion has been incubating for 2.5 years now and we should take a critical look at what needs to be done to get Trafodion to a TLP ready podling. Few of my comments: 1) Growth of the community. I see that Trafodion has added few committers and PPMC members (which is great). However, I would like to understand the number of active contributors who are currently contributing rather than a specific set of people who are committers and make up the major portion of contributions to the project. 2) Releases -- Trafodion's last release has had quite some distance from the release previous to it. Is there any specific reason for that? 3) Homogeneous community -- Since Trafodion has a major investment from a specific company, do we have PPMC members and committers mostly from that company, or do we have heterogeneous community? 4) Mailing lists -- I have been on the emailing list for less than 48 hours, so please forgive my short sighted opinion, but I do not see much dev activity happening on the list. Is that a regular practise or something that we need to fix? I would like to have more comments from the community to understand what is lacking to graduate.
