I'm growing a little concerned about the health of XAP. Certainly there is some level of activity, but it all appears to stem from only Nexaweb people.
For example, if we exclude the mentors, none of the non-Nexaweb people from the original proposal, who are therefore now XAP committers, have shown any activity at all. The only people who are active are those from Nexaweb; all of the commits, all of the bug reports, and almost all of the e-mail has come from them. I could probably count on my fingers the number of other people I've seen on the mailing list. Now, don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong with the Nexaweb folks being involved. On the contrary, it's good to see that they're still around, and active and involved. My concern is that we don't seem to be growing any community around XAP. It was good to see Bob Buffone give a little spiel on XAP at ApacheCon in Austin. I'd hoped that that might bring some folks over here to see what's going on. Sadly, that doesn't seem to have happened. So, what can we do? How can we attract more attention to XAP, and get more people involved? Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Martin Cooper
