Hi all, For the project to graduate or continue without retiring it needs 3 PMCs who will be taking care of the project (like regular releases etc.). To graduate, it needs a volunteer to complete the tasks required in the graduation checklist - https://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html
Folks willing to volunteer please reply to this thread. Without that I am afraid the project might have to retire or force to be retired by the Incubator.

I agree with JB - in my opinion, this project must graduate, one way or another. Maybe we could organize a meeting with any contributors that we can reach and discuss how we can make this happen?

I would push for graduation, but only if we see community activity starting from now.
