It seems odd to have a list that large and say that we're about to start a graduation vote. My impression was we're really only working on #1, and Andre and Pedro seem to have those under control. #2 and #3 are ongoing activities, before and after graduation, for us and any other Apache project. But I don't think we have any graduation blocking issues there. > We have started preliminary discussion concerning graduation, and are > putting renewed emphasis on the above items > as we would like to propose graduation within the next month. > > * Issues for IPMC or ASF Board Awareness * > > - None > > * Community Development Progress * > > - Since our last report we have voted in 5 (?) new Committers/PPMC members. > - Since our last report, one committer/PPMC member has resigned > - We have improved to act more as a self organized project to address > and solve project related topics (eg. budget transfer from SPI, forum > moderation). > - We accepted an offer from SourceForge to host our older 3.3 version and > provide client installs of our latest release 3.4. > This decision was arrived after much discussion among members and > consulation with mentors. > - Due to heightened interest, we are putting more resources (services, > volunteers) into translation efforts > - We are putting more effort into addressing trademark and third-party > distributin requests.

I see you have some other suggestions as well. Once those are included, and maybe a run through a spell checker, it should be "ready to go".
