+1. Gump continues to provide value to the Tomcat project.

I think that is the simplest option.

If the board does have objections at some point then we can address them
we they are raised.

Maybe for now just add a prominent note somewhere that says:
- we know there is work to do in this area
- ask on the list if anyone has a query
- we'll update the docs based on those queries and answers

Board Report

2020-06-09 Thread Stefan Bodewig
Hi all

the board report is due tomorrow. From my POV Mark has been fixing
things and nothing really changed. Gump works and the Tomcat community -
i.e. Mark - makes sure it remains useful for them.

This report I intend to make this a bit more explicit in the report. It
looks as if we do have three PMC people who respond to emails but I'm
not sure whether this rule really makes sense in a project that never
cuts releases :-)

Back in March we seemed to agree that as long as the board isn't unhappy
we can continue as we have done over the past years.

Konstantin raised the about documentation being outdated and missing and
Gump being difficult to approach for a newcomer, which is probably true,
but nobody (including myself, of course) seems to find enough energy to
change that.
