Hi all, I have two proposals:
a) I read in an previous post, that comdev uses an old version from an svn repository ^1. Might it be that Apache infrastructure / comdev should care about this? ^1 https://lists.apache.org/thread/mpsso6c05v0mj59ggno95t2lqg03spzs b) There is kind of ambitious goal, that kibble should be completely reworked (Tomasz 's proposal: ^2,^3), e.g. by concentrating on APIs, tests and use e.g. Apache Superset for UI. But it seems to make no progress, and one has to ask, why? >From the other side "demo.kibble.apache.org" (kind of production demo) is >still a pre-kibble-1 version (as the newer git version is called kibble-1 >together with kibble-scanners) but is running "live" .. ^2 in 2021: https://lists.apache.org/thread/q2p5g7vgqh463n9k969990txg6k2ry6w ^3 in 2025: https://lists.apache.org/thread/yy2vz5c49j40d1m6vbl6t7csbzf85vdf That is the project could do on one side work on just "maintaing (old) code" or "rework towards a new version, lessons learned" - this stretch might be too much for the kibble community without having the chance to think about.. What about to ask: What do you think, should the project focus on either this or that - or first this, then that or retire immediately.. As the new version might still need some more time, it might be a good idea to stay with the old stuff for one or two years more, with the support from comdev?

Hi All I've missed drafting a few reports over the last months due to other commitments so have put something together for this month's board meeting. Please see the draft report below and feel free to provide feedback, comments and any suggestions for changes. Thanks Sharan -------------------------------------- ## Description: The mission of Apache Kibble is the creation and maintenance of software related to an interactive project activity analyzer and aggregator ## Project Status: Current project status: Dormant (considering retirement) Issues for the board:None ## Membership Data: Apache Kibble was founded 2017-10-18 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Michał Słowikowski on 2021-05-03. - No new committers. Last addition was Kaxil Naik on 2021-02-21. ## Project Activity: The project has not yet made a release. There has been no real activity since our last report. The question of retirement was raised earlier in the year [1] and the responses show that we no longer have sufficient resources available to maintain or develop the project. A dependency to the reporter.apache.org tool was identified in that it makes a it make a call to the Kibble API to retrieve some project statistics. If the project does move the attic then this functionality needs to be extracted or a replacement tool used to extract any needed statistics. The next step would be to begin a vote on the dev list to retire the project. ## Community Health: The community has always been fairly small and the majority don't currently have the bandwidth to contribute to the project. A vote to retire the project is the next logical step. And if there is anyone interested in progressing the project then they have an opportunity to save the project from potential retirement.
