Apache Daffodil is an implementation of the Data Format Description
Language (DFDL) used to convert between fixed format data and
XML/JSON.
Daffodil has been incubating since 2017-08-27.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increase community growth and participation
2. Establish a frequent release schedule
3. Working other Apache projects where Daffodil could provided extra
functionality
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
- None, previous legal issues regarding Open Grid Forum license were
clarified (LEGAL-369)
How has the community developed since the last report?
- Starting community building, including conversations on the user@
and dev@ lists from a handful of users requesting some support and
information on Daffodil for DFDL schema creation.
- Mike Beckerle was accepted for a talk on Daffodil at ApacheCon
- Received two bug fix contributions from an outside user, who was
able to spin up and make contributions quickly
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Created our first release as an Apache incubator
- All website and wiki documentation is up to date
- Had 14 commits from 5 different developers over the past three months
- Still under active development, though upcoming features are
large are take time to implement
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
