Report from the Apache Tiles Project ## Description: Apache Tiles is a free open-sourced templating framework for Java applications. Based upon the Composite pattern it is built to simplify the development of user interfaces.
## Activity: Apache Tiles remains a stable but low traffic project. This quarter there was very little public activity. A couple of small fixes. No releases were cut. The majority of activity still happens on non-apache sites like the StackExchange forums. StackExchange sees a few questions and answers each day or two. Efforts to subscribe these posts back to the user mailing list should be re-investigated. ## Health report: There are currently two responsive PMC, other PMC help out with votes when needed. Everyone is aware of the how little momentum the project has, but it does not feel abandoned by members, nor not in use by the public. ## Issues Further effort is still required to increase health to the project. Previous board report received feedback on what such effort might be. This can be from including the StackExchange traffic, following up on some of the development ideas, to publicity and engagement with other communities that have more momentum in the UI space. ## Memorial On September 30th our previous chair Greg Reddin passed away. A number of members stepped forward to contribute their praise and condolences. What was written up was shared with Greg's wife. http://www.apache.org/memorials/greg_reddin.html
