I would suggest another - and simpler - path : - gather a few volunteers, and take over the project. I was expecting that the initial podling members would take care of that, but beside Pam, there is *no* activity from the list of initial committers : # Rich Levinson # Hal Lockhart # Prateek Mishra # David Laurance # Duanhua Tu # Ajith Nair # Srijith Nair # Chris Rath So here, I would suggest to reboot this list of committers. That would require the agreement of the podling PMC, of course. The best person to get that done would obviously be Pam. Note that it would require a massive effort to get the project survive, by agregating some new committers : you need to be at least 3, but that would be the bare minimum. Expecting to get out of incubation with only 3 *active* committers is more than optimistic... Keep in mind that The ASF is all about building a community, that would guarantee that the project will survive the natural leave of some committers in the ling run. If a project can't gather enough committers, then the ASF is simply not the right place for it. If this can't work, then, yes, forking is probably the solution.
