This is a vote on recommending a retirement option for the NPanday poddling.
NPanday entered incubator on 13th of August 2010: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/npanday.html Up until 2012 the poddling was doing reasonably well, producing two releases and adding mentors and committers. Starting from 2012 the community started to dwindle and no further releases were produced. Starting from 2014 the poddling really struggled to regain vitality despite of numerous attempts to help by Brett Porter and Konstantin Boudnik. The most visible attempt was in July/August 2014 and resulted in a spur of JIRA and ML activity, but couldn't be sustained without direct involvement of Brett and Konstantin: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/August2014 Starting from September the poddling was back to the usual levels: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-npanday-dev/ http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-npanday-commits/ http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-npanday-users/ while missing Incubator reports: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2014 https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/December2014 and having absolutely 0 commits coming into the repository. It now appears that that all of the PPMC has been disengaged and the user community for the project is pretty much non existent. IPMC has been monitoring the situation all throughout 2014: http://markmail.org/message/3sbwfpedosyqzqhn http://markmail.org/message/c2fbokolyujki3gl http://markmail.org/thread/3ttavmqnq5s6pe74 http://markmail.org/message/bxelz5ati2hofe4y and at this point it feels like the most production option would be to recommend retirement of the poddling. Should the VOTE pass, Konstantin and myself are volunteering to take care of the poddling retirement mechanics. Vote will run for at least 72 hours (to 12/14/14, noon PST).
