I'm voting to keeping this project active. Scott -Original Message- From: William A.

Fans and contributors, it appears that the stdcxx project is entirely dormant. The ASF has launched a new 'Attic' project over the past two years, to neatly retire dormant works until and unless a community comes along who wishes to revive the effort. As a simple formality your votes please; [ ] +1 - stdcxx committee should be retired, with code sent to the Attic [x] -1 - No, stdcxx should not fold, I am still contributing, and [would serve|am serving] on its project management committee The results of this vote will be taken up by the ASF Board of Directors at their 15 Feb meeting.

While often have little or no time for extracurricular activities, I'm willing to start participating on a limited basis. So -1. Travis -Original Message- From: William A.

Sorry, my understanding was that the header tells everything, if there was an online poll please count this vote as -1 formally as: *not* putting the stdcxx Apache STL project to Apache Attic. Of course I would like to contribute if that's possible, I do have a formal agreement of ARM, at least for the ARM related patches - please see below. > > PS: I still have some pending patches to port it to ARM Compiler, if > > somebody would be happy to review it/commit it I would be happy to > > follow up - Martin was looking, but we both stuck at some point with > > having not enough time to do it.

Some of them were put into Jira: STDCXX-1051 at least this. I can do some digging and find out if I tracked the other ones, otherwise I will raise them in Jira.

One problem is that if you push it to an individual (e.g. Martin) then there is no chance the community can help take up the slack when that individual gets busy.
