Hi folks!
I just committed a first version of the Incubator report to the SVN
(under jspwiki/board). Please check and comment, and if you feel
you have something to add, either commit directly, or send a patch :-)
I think we need to seriously start to look into graduation as a top-
level project now. 2.8 is nearly complete (pending a few issues
still), and after this the next big hurdle will be 3.0 and the
graduation. I added some preliminary comments on what I think are
the remaining obstacles - please also comment on those. I've cut-n-
pasted the report here for your convenience.
2008-October JSPWiki Incubator status report
JSPWiki has been incubating since September 2007.
JSPWiki is a JSP-based wiki program.
During the past three months, the JSPWiki community seems to still
enjoy
a steady increase. The developer list now has 66 names, an increase
of 12%. The user list is now 152 people strong, a growth of 7%
since the last
report.
The first beta of JSPWiki 2.8 (which is the Apache-licensed version
of 2.6)
has been released, and it is missing only a few key patches to be a
full release.
This, however, won't be an Apache release (as it is meant to be
backwards
compatible with 2.x series, which means keeping the old package
structure).
Despite of this, we're practicing the Apache processes of voting and
approving
releases.
Graduation depends chiefly of three things:
* Stable release of 2.8, so we can concentrate on 3.0 process
* Making a successful 3.0 release, including
* Renaming of all packages to org.apache.*
* Taking the new API into use
* Making sure all the legal bits and pieces are in order (i.e. the
status file)
