Our quarterly report is due Wednesday latest. Here's my draft so far. Please modify to include any important things I've omitted.
I'd like to submit this by end of workday Tuesday (tomorrow) so please give this a quick read and add suggestions. Thanks --------- ## Description: The mission of Apache Daffodil is the creation and maintenance of software related to an implementation of the Data Format Description Language (DFDL) used to convert between fixed format data and more readily processed forms such as XML or JSON ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing. Moderate activity. Issues for the board: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (4 years ago) There are currently 19 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Peter Katlic on 2024-03-17. - No new committers. Last addition was Peter Katlic on 2024-03-17. ## Project Activity: With the release of Daffodil 4.0.0 we are finally past the evolution of our code base to Scala 3. As of this writing the Daffodil VSCode extension v1.5.0 release is out for an RC1 vote, so there is significant progress there also as there is toward a v4.1.0 of the primary daffodil library. In addition, DFDL training and best-practices content has been added to the Daffodil project web site. ## Community Health: We still have a good activity level in developer email and commit activity. User list activity is low, but not non-existent. The cybersecurity community, which is the major user community for Daffodil, is notoriously silent about usage. We have recently had some interest from new contributors, and some contributors to the VSCode extension sub-project have become much more active.
