Hi Dave, I apologize if the answer you got to your question about VXQuery usage to be clueless and abstract. Since we did not see any feedback to the response to your question, the conclusion was that you were satisfied with the answer. The VXQuery team would have and still would appreciate

Hi Ant, I was the shepherd on VXQuery in their last reporting period. I really don't feel like anything is really happening in the project, at least not anywhere that is visible. I even asked a technical question about one of their suggested use cases - organize and accessing Edgar documents.

Dropping the vxquery mailing list... To me VXQuery looks like an example of a project being let down by the Incubator PMC. This labeling issue was just an honest attempt at trying to be helpful not some underhanded attempt to try to circumvent the ASF release policy, if they were getting adequate

Ant, I think that everybody in the VXQuery podling would be very happy to have you on board as a mentor, even if we manage to release before the next report (which I still think we will). Please let us know if you would be willing to spend a few cycles helping VXQuery. Thanks, Till On Sep
