Hi, the Stanbol podling has discussed [1] that we are ready for graduation. The project has created two releases during incubation and created an active community around the topic of semantic content management. The PPMC internal vote for a resolution to establish the project got positive feedback [2].
We are now asking the IPMC to vote on the resolution to establish Stanbol and to recommend the resolution to the board. The resolution to vote on is also available online [3].
