Jena is now down to place 118 from 85 in April 2018. I have very
briefly discussed this with Andy Seaborne but would like to hear from
dev list members on this and the db ranking in general.

Is there anything we can learn from this that would help us to raise
visibility and recognition of the project? Should the ranking be
ignored?

Jena is a framework for developing Semantic Web and Linked Data
applications in Java. It provides implementation of W3C standards for
RDF and SPARQL.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

The project has continued to evolve the codebase. It is still in the
process of incorporating the significant contribution of a GeoSPARQL,
mainly restricted by PMC members bandwidth.

Elsewhere, a new contribution of metrics support for the Jena Fuseki,
triplestore protocol engine, has been received and the project is
working with the contributor to incorporate that.

Discussion of release 3.11.0 has started.

## Health report:

The project is at normal levels of activity, with JIRA and git pull

I don't really see in what sense Jena competes with Oracle or MySQL (top two 
listings) or for that matter, Google Cloud Spanner (?), ClickHouse (?), or 
Apache Drill.

I'll admit, I'm a little annoyed by being outranked by something called 
"CockroachDB", but that's probably just a bit of prejudice on my part.

"a GeoSPARQ" = "a GeoSPARQ implementation" or "a GeoSPARQ module"?

"for the Jena Fuseki, triplestore protocol engine" => "for the Jena Fuseki 
triplestore protocol engine"

[DRAFT] Apache Jena Report : April 2019

2019-04-07 Thread Andy Seaborne

FYI: This month we got weevils and hedgehogs.

The report generator puts in default text:

## Issues:
 - TODO - list any issues that require board attention,
  or say "there are no issues requiring board attention at this time"
   -  if not, the weevils will get you.


## Health report:
 - TODO - Please use this paragraph to elaborate on why
   the current project activity (mails, commits, bugs etc) is at its
   current level - Maybe hedgehogs took over and are now controlling
   the project?

More mundanely:

## Description:

Jena is a framework for developing Semantic Web and Linked Data
applications in Java. It provides implementation of W3C standards for
RDF and SPARQL.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

The project has continued to evolve the codebase. It is still in the 
process of incorporating the significant contribution of a GeoSPARQL, 
mainly restricted by PMC members bandwidth.


Elsewhere, a new contribution of metrics support for the Jena Fuseki, 
triplestore protocol engine, has been received and the project is 
working with the contributor to incorporate that.


Discussion of release 3.11.0 has started.

## Health report:

The project is at normal levels of activity, with JIRA and git pull 
requests getting being responded to, and the users list remains active.
