I remain committed to building and sharing open-source software for social web data interoperability. Participating in the incubator process has taught me a lot, and I would like the keep the project operating at Apache, but as Ate points out the community around this podling has never been healthy and has all but disappeared in 2016.
I would very much welcome anyone interested in this problem to volunteer as a mentor or contributor. With even a few new committed active participants I can envision the project graduating to TLP. Without fresh initiative, it should be retired. Perhaps some of the codebase will be useful elsewhere. I’ll be submitting a (potentially final) release candidate later today.

Sure there is a chance, but for that the project needs active community involvement. Which has been lacking for quite a while now. Community building and involvement really is the primary problem for the project with only a single active member, which is not sustainable. However, if you are willing and able to get actively involved, and rally some additional community involvement as well, then I'd be happy to postpone/cancel the retirement VOTE for now. I suggest to head over to d...@streams.incubator.apache.org, let us know what you can and will do for the project, and see how that works out.
