-- ## Annotator Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and humans. Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Grow contributions outside the PPMC. 2. Establish release cadence. 3. Improve documentation, and in particular articulate a roadmap. ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? The podling missed reporting in January due to holiday disruptions and has been slow to make its first ASF release. The release machinery is all in place as of this month, and voting for the first release candidate should begin within the week. ### How has the community developed since the last report? The PPMC has been more actively communicating and plans to open up a weekly call to more directly engage early users. ### How has the project developed since the last report? The release machinery is in place, with Apache Rat being used to verify that licenses are in order. The PPMC is resolved to release the current state of the project and generate momentum from there. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your own commentary. - [X] Initial setup - [X] Working towards first release - [X] Community building - [ ] Nearing graduation - [ ] Other: ### Date of last release: Should begin voting within the week. ### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? No new committers nor PPMC members have been added since the last report. ### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive? Mentors have been very helpful so far. They will be engaged around the initial release, to help ensure that everything is in order. ### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks? All the proper incubation disclaimers should be in the repository and on the website. The project is aware of no incidents of misuse of brand or trademark.
