ASF Board members,

Here's what I've got on the James project:

* Released JAMES server 2.3.1 final.
* Released mime4j 0.3 final.
* Mailet API code was spun out as a subproject.... (had been a separate mailing list for a while). * Some changes to the jspf subproject but cannot release because we need a change and release in a dependent external project that we cannot fork.
* No new committers.
* Robert Burrell Donkin added to the James PMC.

After Justin helped with our project guidelines and some community issues earlier in the year, he's recently unsubscribed. Thank you very much for his help!

There are still some deep set personality disagreements that remain in the PMC. They are not flaring up right now but several are not contributing because of these disagreements. Having the project guidelines should give us a method to resolve these disagreements going forward, but it cannot change the feelings people have about the past, and I'm not sure what it will take for those to regain faith in the team.

Robert is helping push the code forward on much needed refactoring, all with the ultimate goal of supporting IMAP.
