Re: Welcome to OpenDashboards!
or even with various verticals in order to start getting attention and traction. Now that we have a new home, the next step is to transfer the Apache Shindig project to a new repository @ Github at its latest stable version. So, @Ryan can you give us the status from your side (and Apache's of course)? Have you cleared things up regarding the transfer?

Re: Terminate the Apache Shindig Project
Is the inactivity due to absence of bugs and no suggestions for enhancements or no interest in fixing bugs or adding missing features? If an organization still wanted to use it but wanted support, are there individuals willing and able to provide support on a commercial basis? What are the other projects and products that depend on Shindig doing in light of the cessation of development?

For the past nine months I have advocated replacing the four (!) existing (legacy) aviation and industry delivery platforms of the Meteorological Service of New Zealand (MetService) with a Liferay/Shindig based site. Over the past year we prototyped a replacement service and are currently awaiting the next project funding cycle. Having to go back to our executive management team and tell them that the basic architecture of our proposed service is somewhat embarrassing, and we will likewise now need to reevaluate and design a new solution. As the lead designer I have been quite happy with the Shindig/Open Social Gadget technology, and we had looked forward to a robust implementation cycle, replacing fifteen years of crufty service with a shiny new Gadget-based solution. Sincere thanks to the development team for an excellent job, very sorry to hear about it being put into the Attic. There may have been inactivity in the dev side at Apache but we were actively using, and planning to use it for a substantial part of our online weather delivery solution.

I have already informed the Apache board about the termination in this months board report (below). As most of you have probably noticed we have seen a decline in participation in all aspects of the project over the past months and the downward trend has been happening for over a year now. This can certainly be seen in our reports to the board [1]. If anyone has any questions please let me know, and I will be sure to keep everyone up to date as we transition the project to the attic.

We have not yet got involved in Shindig yet but I am lurking in the forum for useful information like this and for indications about how stable and functional Shindig actually is.
