Volunteering as JSPWiki Mentor - WAS Re: JSPWiki status (Was: jspwiki)
Hi folks, I actually wanted to go emeritus but I'm a f** idiot and therefore would like to help here and volunteer as JSPWiki Mentor ... :-) I'm a bit familiar with JSPWiki since a maintain a JSPWiki On A Stick distribution and we use JSPWiki in my company on a daily base. So I have a personal interest to see the project leaving the incubator. What formal steps are required? Thanks in advance Siegfried Goeschl PS: Please note that over the weekend I'm retiring from most of my other Apache projects roles officially so don't get confused On 13.10.12 17:34, Craig L Russell wrote: On Oct 13, 2012, at 8:19 AM, Craig L Russell wrote: Hi Jukka, On Oct 13, 2012, at 7:49 AM, Jukka Zitting wrote: Hi, On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 1:05 AM, Jukka Zitting jukka.zitt...@gmail.com wrote: JSPWiki has been troubled for quite some time. Following up on this and since JSPWiki is by far our oldest podling, I felt it appropriate to summarize its status and outlook from the IPMC perspective in this months board report. Here's my summary: JSPWiki is our oldest podling with over five years in the Incubator. Activity in JSPWiki was very low for a few years and they've yet to create their first Apache release. Earlier this year they discussed leaving the Incubator and the ASF since they clearly weren't making much progress. That discussion led to some revival of activity and the decision to continue in the Incubator. Unfortunately the podling no longer has enough active mentors, which has led to some trouble with premature attempts at cutting releases or graduating. Despite these troubles the podling is making progress, and with sufficient help from the IPMC they might well become ready to graduate within a few quarters. JSPWiki committers/mentors, does this sound like an accurate summary? Sounds fair enough. I'm still actively mentoring the project but could it use some more mentors. Correction: It could use some more mentors. The project is in the middle of cutting their first release, and we all know that the first time is the hardest. The biggest issue regarding the release was the decision to *not* release the 3.0 code base that had been the focus of previous efforts. If everyone stays focused, I believe that the project can graduate within a few months after release.

If not, and you are a foundation member, Jukka just needs to send you off to the board for an ACK and then give you karma. If not, we need a vote.
