Well, we missed our "July" target. Beyond discussion on this thread and a few odd fixes, there's been little forward movement in the community. If you want Imperius to move forward and remain a part of the ASF, then the community needs to graduate from the Incubator... Craig and I are not going to do this for you. You cannot remain in the Incubator forever. If there is not progress towards graduating Imperius, I think we should suspend the project. October would be my target for either graduating or terminating the project. --kevan
