I was involved at one point on behalf of Pivot (where we have several
projects), and Andrea Pescetti on behalf of Open Office was also
involved (since they have a bunch of stuff there). But things have gone
quiet for about 2 months. There was a second prototype that looked
pretty good (to us). But, I don't know the state of things now.

I'm happy to help make sure we hit this deadline, but I'm not driving it.

You said you put people in contact with each other so I was under the
impression you were actively part of a group driving this.
Jim, do you have any updates on the current status?
Cheers,

I am *not* working on it. I have no idea who said I was (I do hope it
wasn't me!)
All I know is that Jim, David and Roberto are working on it, I don't
know how actively but it is now a priority.
I believe Jim is involved wearing his ComDev hat so (with his
agreement) you can look to him for those updates. David is wearing his infra
hat and Roberto wears his SF hat.

We reported about apache extras in September and November and both
times we were told that Jim, Ross, David and Roberto were working on
it. Some time in October David asked for feedback on a proof of concept, no
news since then.
Can you shed some light on who is driving this atm?
Cheers,

Today Google announced that Google Code will be shutting down Jan 25, 2016.
We need to create a replacement for Apache-extras. Can we please make
sure that progress on this is reported in the ComDev board report each quarter.
I suggest the starting point should be to expand discussions with
SourceForge, they have offered neighborhoods in the past. David, with
his infra hat, has been exploring options for download provision already (I'm
not sure of the current status).
(and as a reminder, this is why we don't like to use services
provided by external companies)
