Hi Mehul, First you need to understand Apache Archiva is an opensource project maintained by volunteers (which accept help :-) ). So depending on those volunteers spare time, the activity can vary a lot. I was just asking other here. It looks we may have find Martin who looks happy to help. I cannot promise you anything on the project. Remember it's opensource depending on committer spare time.
