Great! > You say it isn't active enough for a TLP. My question is what constitutes > active enough? Basically one that meets the criteria described in [1]. My subjective interpretation is that Droids isn't quite there yet. I explain: I see 186 Droids commits in 2011, 178 of which were committed by you and Bertil Chapuis. And it looks like Bertil's last commit was in April. As a result 95% of the commits in the last 6 months were by a single committer. (Please don't interpret any of these numbers as indicating some unwritten limits, I'm merely using these statistics to highlight the issue.) So it looks to me like the project still needs to work on growing the community before gaining the critical mass needed to survive the loss of any single contributor. Once that's done, I think Droids will be ready to graduate. The ManifoldCF podling so facing a similar problem, so my related post [2] to connectors-dev@ might also have some useful ideas for Droids. > The IP clearance issue has been cleared up.
