Hello all, we need to report soon, and I have made a few observations.
We are actually not active in any kind. This is very sad, because most of us here want Ripple to survive, but it's the truth. We don't have commit activity. Only two of us where discussing a new committer to join, without managing to finally start the vote (reminder: this is a dev list, new committers are discussed on the private list). Usually I have to push the report further to the Ripple lists and its hard to get a report done any time. I was wondering if we have a serious chance to change this. Yes, we discussed to join Cordova as subproject. But it won't help if there are no volunteers from that place taking over. The question is, should we cancel our incubation here. What would it mean? - Ripples trademark would remain at the ASF (there were excpetions) - The source code is read only - Mailinglists etc are closed However it would also mean we make an update to our webpage and tell people that this project has moved to GitHub. I am not sure if it would survive there as well, but today people love to work with GitHub and that means there are chances. Personally I think if nobody of you comes up with either a great idea to attract new people or says he can dedicate a certain amount of time, this project is better being moved to GitHub. We are not speaking about to "kill" a running project, because I don't see any sign of life so far. And this is what I consider "dead" already. What are your thoughts?
