Da Li and I are working on the ship stopper defect (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-351) now. Currently 2 of
the 5 issues are completed, and we still need 1-2 weeks to conquer the
other bugs. Since the traditional Chinese spring festival is coming soon,
the schedule will be impact to some extent.
If you need any help I would be available. E.g. I could implement some
regression tests if you haven't done so already. If you already have
tests in place I could also help with fixing the problem.

Will keep the status updated here and resume the release process soon.

Hello ODFTollkit community,
Is there anything happening with development here is the community? I
see little to no activity recently. There were discussions and a "code
freeze" then trouble then silence.
So, I am curious about what people plan to do as individuals and where
the ODF Toolkit really wants to go as a community.
If there is not enough community to support development as a full
project, then perhaps the alternatives need to be explored.
(1) Be excepted as a subproject of an existing PMC. Here there are two
possible choices:
- Apache POI - which is about reading and writing Microsoft Office
documents in Java. I am on that PMC as our your mentors Nick and Yegor.
If
there is interest I am sure that we would consider it in some form.
- Apache OpenOffice - this may be more natural, but it is a vibrant
community and this could be considered an important part.
(2) Make a clean release and then move the code to the Apache Attic.
Thoughts?
yeah, it's quite. A lot more so than AOO.
But I think it is an important project and one that should not be
moved to the attic.
As for moving it to another project, I will leave that to those wiser
than me :-)
I am using the Toolkit as part of a research project and intend to
submit the results to ODFT Apache when I get there. Of course if they
are wanted.
I have extended it in some ways to provide way of looking into ODF
documents to see what is there, in its own right, compared to other
documents, and compared to what is defined the schema.
I still have a lot of work to do, but getting there.
+1 for it being an important project.
For the next release, there is a ship stopper defect reported from
customer, and Da Li & Ke Jia are working on it.
For long term of this product and this community, I think what we need to
focus should not only be development, but also marketing promotion and
building on the ecosystem. As a toolkit, it will only success when more and
more people build there applications based on it. We should think about how
to do it. e.g. encourage the sharing of best practice, especially the cloud
and mobile solution.
