Hi Ross,
I had an attempt at writing the report this morning, partly based on
looking at other incubator project reports. (below)
BTW: I would have added it directly to the wiki, but its listed as
closed, so I wasn't sure if there was some other procedure.
Thanks
As far as I am aware you just need to register, but no worries, I'll add
it now. And sign it off.
I've signed it off too, but I think Paul is right in saying this month report
is closed.
Noel already submitted the report yesterday to the board.
I'm cc'ing Noel to see if he wants to update that report or have Wookie report
next time again.
Regards,
Ate
I'll add the following two bullets:
- the community is slowly diversifying but we need to see more active
contributions from new people before graduation. A release will help in
this regard.
- There was a Wookie session at ApacheCon and a meetup discussed
potential for the creation of a widget "portal" solution possibly using
Wookie

===========================
Wookie is a Java server application that allows you to upload and deploy
widgets for your applications. Wookie is based on the W3C Widgets
specification, but widgets can also be included that use extended APIs
such as Google Wave Gadgets and OpenSocial.
Wookie has been incubating since 17th July 2009
Recent activity:
- removed all previous non apache licenced dependencies (removed major
dependency on hibernate)
- implemented plugable persistence framework (JPA, JCR versions
implemented)
- started process towards first release
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WOOKIE/Wookie+First+Release)
- various other bug fixes & updates geared towards getting first release
completed
Next steps:
- complete release process
- investigation/implementation into replacement for direct web remoting
layer (possibly socket.io) - already started
Issues before graduation:
- complete first release
- build community/expand user base
=========================
Hope this helps
Paul
