## Description:
The mission of Apache Daffodil is the creation and maintenance of an
implementation of the Data Format Description Language standard and related
software used to convert between fixed format data and more readily processed
forms such as XML or JSON.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Membership Data:
Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (a year ago) There are currently 15
committers and 14 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:7.
Community changes, past quarter:
- Adam Rosien was added to the PMC and as committer on 2022-04-13
## Project Activity:
Daffodil v3.3.0 was released on March 22, 2022
Daffodil VSCode Extension v1.0.0 was released on April 4, 2022. This is an
interactive data debugger, and is our first interactive development tool for
use with Daffodil and the DFDL language. A draft roadmap for this new part of
the project is being created on our Wiki.
We have submitted talks for ApacheCon NA 2022.
## Community Health:
We have added our second new committer/PMC member since becoming a Top Level
Project a year ago.
We are receiving steady contributions to both the newer Daffodil VSCode
Extension and the Daffodil code base. The rate of commits/PRs has dropped a
bit, but this is partly due to the fewer rather large commits associated with
the new VSCode Extension sub-effort, and to some developers spending more time
on DFDL schema creation, that is, some devs have spent time as Daffodil users
recently which can definitely be a good thing for quality.
As expected, the Daffodil VSCode Extension effort is attracting more
contributors. User interest in Daffodil has also increased. A Web search for
'Google Cloud DFDL Daffodil' will find material about recent cloud based
Daffodil applications.
