Looking at the community activity this project looks like it lacks the diversity required. For example, on the vote thread on the projects own dev list there were only three +1 votes, one of which came from someone who has only ever posted to the dev list on two other occasions.
Furthermore I'm worried that in Janne said: "The point of Apache Incubation is to incubate a community of people who can create good software. So far our community seems to be dwindling more than increasing (and I accept the blame for that - I just haven't had the time nor the interest to put into this project). So I don't think it's wrong to say that our incubation has essentially failed, and that we should consider some other avenue, and go away from messing up the Apache Incubator." and Harry said: "We simply can't get people interested in doing the necessary things, both the tech work and the non-tech work, and I personally do not have that much time for the project either anymore. So moving over to github is fine for me. (what will be the starting point in github BTW, the current trunk, or 2.8.4 ?)" Now we have this proposal to graduate. Juan Pablo didn't like the idea of saying incubation had failed and has championed graduation. Can I ask for someone more aware of JSPWiki activities please provide a summary of why the proposals to declare failure in Jan were rejected and what activities have been undertaken to turn this "failure" to graduation. Please don't feel you need to defend the proposal, I'm just looking for information to support my vote and also to help me think about the discussions a couple of months ago about different styles of incubation activity.
