There has been consistent active development work and a good roadmap for future releases. There is an active community of users that have exchanged a lot of good ideas and provided assistance to the community in resolving problems associated with VCL. It's a solid project and stable application which is getting increasing use at our institution and I foresee it continuing to grow in the future.

I would positively support a vote for graduation. I agree on the other points mentioned. Status page needs to be updated. We can work on this part easily. The web site needs to be migrated off confluence. Has anyone researched other CMS options for the website. I think this would be a good community discussion thread.
