In other projects, we have been keeping track of the number of jiras open, number of users signed up to user and dev, etc. I found it useful to keep track of the progress of the growth of the community.
Unfortunately, I can't request a list of e-mail addresses to the list. I get a response saying that I'm not the owner, so perhaps I should ask infra about it or have someone else getting those numbers for the mailing lists. Otherwise, it looks good. -Flavio On Dec 5, 2012, at 5:02 PM, Matthieu Morel wrote: > Hi, > > here is a proposal for this month's report: > > -------------------- > > S4 (Simple Scalable Streaming System) is a general-purpose, distributed, > scalable, partially fault-tolerant, pluggable platform that allows > programmers to easily develop applications for processing continuous, > unbounded streams of data. > > S4 entered incubation on September 26th 2011. > > Primary issues blocking graduation: > > - growing the community > - verifying the name of the project.
