JoshuaJoshua is a statistical machine translation toolkitJoshua has
been incubating since 2016-02-13.Three most important issues to
address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make another Apache Joshua
incubating release (7.0.0). 2. Identifying specific use cases that
Joshua might excel at. 3. Attracting active developers and users.Any
issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to beaware
of? NoneHow has the community developed since the last report?The
community mailing lists continue to see a few new usersrequiring
assistance with using the project.Questions have been answered in
reasonable time. Community building continues to be the biggest
challenge for Joshua rightnow.How has the project developed since the
last report?The PPMC is actively working towards a 7.0.0
releasecandidate which will essentially be a re-modularization ofthe
Joshua source code for distribution and hopefully improved consumption
as a dependency within other projects.We have seen a few pull requests
logged specifically addressingsource code formatting, this is a
positive.How would you assess the podling's maturity?Please feel free
to add your own commentary. [X] Initial setup [X] Working towards

Joshua PPMC will move towards proposing the project graduates
post 7.0.0 release. I am working with Tommaso to progress the 7.X
