New committers are not the same as community diversity, unfortunately. The overwhelming majority of contributors to the project are sponsored, in one way or another, by a single commercial entity. As things currently stand, if that entity looses interest, the project dies. The intent is that, with announcements about frequent releases going to (amongst other places) trac-hacks, interest will eventually bring new blood to the project. > In fact based on my brief review I don't see any notable reasons to > vote against graduation should a vote come up tomorrow, so I've > categorized the project as ready to graduate as soon as they feel > they're up to it. Mentors, please correct if needed. I agree, apart from the community diversity issue. > PS.

I'm not actively involved in liaison with Trac, but I do know that the Bloodhound community is being very careful about not stepping on any toes, and stressing that BH is an enhancement of Trac, not a fork. For now, I don't detect any friction between the two projects. -- Brane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
