Cheers Christian Hi, Before closing the vote, it would be nice to have a vote of all the involved zeta commiters, if you belive this podling have a chance to regain activity and cutting release, you can vote against the retirement of apache incubator.

Since I won't find any time to take care for it in the near future, I cannot go any other way than vote ±0 for the retirement. If anyone feels to have the time for taking care of the project, I'd be rather happy. However, due to business reasons, I personally cannot. Benjamin just proposed to move the code to a Github organization, which I find the best solution for now. Best regards, Toby -- Tobias Schlitthttp://schlitt.infoGPG Key: 0xC462BC14 Want to hire me?

Especially thanks to Toby because of the very clear words. It's really sad to see that the Zeta Components did not reached it's goals here at Apache. It's sad to see that the core committers are not able to maintain the project. It's sad to see no more development. (It's sad that I wasn't able to support the Components more.) Probably github is a better place. But I do not expect more life there. What I'm missing: - What's the future of the Components? Is it just maintenance mode? - What's the legal/license situation regarding the history/eZ Systems? - What's eZ's position? (I guess they are most interested in a clear situation of the project.) Would it be helpful to have an IRC meeting to discuss the future? (Or is it to political to speak clear words where everything is perhaps somehow logged?) Thomas

There were no additions to the community (in fact, substractions, given the recent email from jerome), no commits, no email activity. This project seems pretty dead for me. I'm sorry to say that but i confirm that ZC is a dead project. The ASF is about community; ZC has none and it is very unlikely it will get one. How are your feelings against this? I think Github would make more sense for Zeta Components. +1 for github In France, except ezpublish users, nobody knows ZC.. they work on Symfony2 or Zend so... One of the biggest blockers I have seen at this project is the missing release. Maybe you want to give it another try, with releasing single components (like in commons.apache.org). This will need some time too - do the committers of this project have any plans to make further steps in the Zeta direction? Cheers Christian 1+ due to the lack of activity and no real perspective on a first release. Julien
