I see few issues with PhotArk: - PhotArk seems to be a seasonal project, where it attracts a lot of student interests around GSoC time, but then slows down. This year in particular was the worst, as we saw about zero activity on the last few months. - The current PhotArk community is composed mostly by students, and it seems that they are very good and active if they have a specific project to work, but it does not work well by finding areas to continue steadily progress. Let us discuss within the community what we should do next, and provide some feedback on our next report. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
