In our recent reports to the ASF Board we’ve raised the possibility of Wookie moving to the Attic[1], given we haven’t been able to grow our community over the past two years.
I think now is as good a time as any to make that decision, and so I’m proposing we recommend that the Board moves Wookie to the Attic in our report this month. When a project moves to the Attic it means it is no longer being actively developed at ASF; however the code remains available for anyone using it, and if anyone wishes to take the code and make use of it outside of ASF (e.g. creating a fork) they are very welcome to do so. However, there will be no further official ASF releases unless the project is “rebooted” by putting it back into the Incubator to build a new community around it. There is no urgency in this as we still have enough PMC members to vote on releases, and none of us are actively withdrawing, so if anyone does object to the idea of moving Wookie to the Attic please speak up. If anyone in the community wants to take the project forwards that would be very welcome! S [1] http://attic.apache.org/ <http://attic.apache.org/>
