+ <u>Follow up on last months issues</u>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Commons BeanUtils. A better understanding of the issue now exists. 6
methods (3 fixed by Niall by refactoring to use other code, 3 as yet unchanged)
were introduced from a patch by Craig many eons ago. Geir's going to talk to
Sun to ask what they would like us to do. </li>
+ <li>Commons HttpClient is to move to Jakarta Http Components.</li>
+ <li>The Silk naming issue for the desired Jakarta Web Components project
is still unresolved. </li>
+ <li>Commons Sandbox. More sandbox'd components moved to dormancy.</li>
+ <li>Inactivity. Commons is actively discussing methods to improve the
development process so it can grow its community again. Subprojects with a
greater inactivity are not being resolved yet.</li>
+ <li>BSF PMC oversight is now resolved (there are 3 committers on the PMC
now)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <u>New issues</u>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>There were legal issues regarding the JCS codebase. GPL (jisp),
Sleepycat (berkeley) and LGPL (jgroups) codebases were found. The former two
have been deleted, the LGPL dependency (an optional feature) has not currently
been deleted. Waiting for Cliff's official LGPL statement. </li>
+ <li>There was a legal-come-personal issue to do with the POI mailing
list. At least some of the board should be aware of this and the PMC is waiting
on a draft question to be written for legal-internal.</li>
+ <li>I am actively pushing subprojects to move to TLP, with the intent of
making Jakarta more Commons-like so that Commons and the rest of Jakarta may
fold into a single community. </li>

+
+ <u>Commons Sandbox</u>
+
+ <p>Commons-CSV was recently added to the sandbox, based on a code grant
from Netcetera in Switzerland. </p>
+
+ <u>Commons Configuration</u>
+
+ <p>See next quarter. Only just released.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons HttpClient</u>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>3.0rc4 was released in October as a number of small bugs continued
to roll in since rc3.</li>
+ <li>A vote on 3.0 final has been held and a release should follow by the
end of December.</li>
+ <li>Work on Jakarta HttpComponents has continued and should pick up
following the release of HttpClient 3.0. Presently Jakarta HttpComponents
committers are working toward the first ALPHA release of the HttpCore
components, which will form the foundation of Jakarta HttpClient 4.0. The
HttpCore components are currently undergoing a peer code review and are being
optimized for performance and memory footprint</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <u>Commons IO</u>
+
+ <p>Commons-IO released version 1.1. This had a number of new features
including accessing the free space on a hard disk without using a native call,
and reading and writing line-based files.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons Net</u>
+
+ <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons Validator</u>
+
+ <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+ <u>HiveMind</u>
+
+ <p>HiveMind has released a 1.1 final release.</p>
+
+ <u>Tapestry</u>
+
+ <p>Tapestry has attempted the unusual feat of regular, weekly beta
releases. Two new committers, Jesse Kuhnert and Kent Tong (pending CLA), have
been voted onto the project. A first release candidate for 4.0 has been
created, and final 4.0 release is expected shortly.</p>
+
+ <u>Turbine</u>
+
+ <p>After two release candidates, the Turbine team released v 2.3.2 of the
Turbine framework. This is a bug fix release for the 2.3 branch of the
framework. Also an updated version of the Maven Environment for Turbine
Applications (M.E.T.A.) to support this version was released.</p>
+
+ <u>Velocity Tools</u>
+
+ <p>VelocityTools 1.2 was released to more publicity than its predecessor
thanks to an interview article on Yahoo's InfoWorld. It incorporates a wide
variety of new tools, bug fixes, and miscellaneous improvements and is fully
compatible with the Struts 1.2.x series. The release of 1.2 also frees the
developers to begin experimenting more seriously with some significant
architectural changes. At this point it seems likely that the next version
will need to be 2.0, though there is still a possibility of a 1.3 release if
Velocity 1.5 comes out soon.</p>
+
+ <p>The subproject continues to gain new users and would like to add
another committer or two if only some of our handful of erstwhile contributors
would step up their effort.</p>

+ <li>Howard Lewis Ship updated the jakarta-site2 build scripts and
stylesheets to generate a site RSS feed and to make it easier to add news
items.</li>
+ <li>POI, JMeter migrated to SVN. All of Jakarta is now in SVN.</li>

+
+ <u>Commons Sandbox</u>
+
+ <p>Commons-CSV was recently added to the sandbox, based on a code grant
from Netcetera in Switzerland. </p>
+
+ <u>Commons Configuration</u>
+
+ <p>See next quarter. Only just released.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons HttpClient</u>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>3.0rc4 was released in October as a number of small bugs continued
to roll in since rc3.</li>
+ <li>A vote on 3.0 final has been held and a release should follow by the
end of December.</li>
+ <li>Work on Jakarta HttpComponents has continued and should pick up
following the release of HttpClient 3.0. Presently Jakarta HttpComponents
committers are working toward the first ALPHA release of the HttpCore
components, which will form the foundation of Jakarta HttpClient 4.0. The
HttpCore components are currently undergoing a peer code review and are being
optimized for performance and memory footprint</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <u>Commons IO</u>
+
+ <p>Commons-IO released version 1.1. This had a number of new features
including accessing the free space on a hard disk without using a native call,
and reading and writing line-based files.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons Net</u>
+
+ <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+ <u>Commons Validator</u>
+
+ <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+ <u>HiveMind</u>
+
+ <p>HiveMind has released a 1.1 final release.</p>
+
+ <u>Tapestry</u>
+
+ <p>Tapestry has attempted the unusual feat of regular, weekly beta
releases. Two new committers, Jesse Kuhnert and Kent Tong (pending CLA), have
been voted onto the project. A first release candidate for 4.0 has been
created, and final 4.0 release is expected shortly.</p>
+
+ <u>Turbine</u>
+
+ <p>After two release candidates, the Turbine team released v 2.3.2 of the
Turbine framework. This is a bug fix release for the 2.3 branch of the
framework. Also an updated version of the Maven Environment for Turbine
Applications (M.E.T.A.) to support this version was released.</p>
+
+ <u>Velocity Tools</u>
+
+ <p>VelocityTools 1.2 was released to more publicity than its predecessor
thanks to an interview article on Yahoo's InfoWorld. It incorporates a wide
variety of new tools, bug fixes, and miscellaneous improvements and is fully
compatible with the Struts 1.2.x series. The release of 1.2 also frees the
developers to begin experimenting more seriously with some significant
architectural changes. At this point it seems likely that the next version
will need to be 2.0, though there is still a possibility of a 1.3 release if
Velocity 1.5 comes out soon.</p>
+
+ <p>The subproject continues to gain new users and would like to add
another committer or two if only some of our handful of erstwhile contributors
would step up their effort.</p>
