the last couple of months have been rather quiet, this is mainly due to the fact that some of the main contributors have had other priorities (family expansion, marriage, vacation and so on). Also, I think summertime with nice weather is a cause. > - No-one has been contributing Templates. When I started using JSPWiki at > ver 2.0.x there where a whole bunch and then it slowed down. By ver 2.6 > no-one was contributing any more see other comments...., I'm only involved since about 2 years... > - The same applies to the plugins I think we are fairly complete for basic functions, if there are requirements for other plugin functionality people can enter JIRA issues. Contribution of plugins is indeed low the last year, I can't explain why. > - The http://incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/ site seems very lean and > nothing > much seems to be going on as Janne already pointed out, this is due to the incubating process and our documentation issue, we made this site very basic, pointing over to the current wiki's (which are much easier to maintain). > - The JIRA site seems to have items logged in 2008 with no resolution yep, we surely could use more good developers picking up bugs and feature requests.... the most coding time is currently spent (I guess) in getting 3.0 up to the basic functioning (Stripes + JCR) and the promotion to an ASF top level project, leaving not much time left for JIRA issues. > > Having said all of this; the number & frequency of subversion commits seems > to be fairly ok which might indicate that their is perhaps nothing to fear? > :) > > I know the more people helping on a project the better.
