Dear Axis community: In recent quarterly reports from the Apache Axis PMC to the Apache board, there is a question seeking out a new PMC chair to ensure that reports are thorough and submitted in a timely manner.
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Axis Has there been any further discussion within the PMC or the larger community about any volunteers for a PMC chair to submit board reports? It's not a lot of work, but it is an important part of showing that your project is active. Similarly, there had been discussion about moving more sub-projects to the Apache Attic (effectively making them read-only, and telling users they're no longer maintained) which don't seem to have all come to a conclusion, nor is the project homepage listing which subproject sites have been boxed in the Attic versus being actively developed. As a project with a long history and stable software, it's fine when the pace of development slows down. But the ASF still needs to ensure that we're clearly letting users know how active the development is on different subprojects, as well as honestly admitting when there aren't enough developers on some part of the project to keep up with user issues and/or any new security issues. Thanks, -- - Shane https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/resources --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@axis.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@axis.apache.org
