Noel, re: lack of updated quarterly report content from this year -- I sent the following quarterly report to general@incubator.apache.org for Beehive on 4/26/2005. Not sure why it didn't make it into records, I may have cut the deadline a little close?
----- Forwarded Message----- From: Ken Tam Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 2:34 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Beehive status report (4/26/05) Beehive is in the home stretch of its 1.0-level release; we declared a beta release in March, and are on track to deliver a 1.0 in the late May timeframe. Posting automated daily builds continues to be an challenge, but otherwise infrastructure is well in place. At this point we are largely focused on fit'n'finish issues in the code, as well as a polished set of samples and documentation. The Beehive community added Bryan Che as a new committer in 2/05. With the beta release and open planning on features for the next version, we are seeing increased dev/user list activity -- we anticipate that the 1.0 release will be even more significant in building the community, and hope to graduate from the Incubator sometime soon after the 1.0 release. Certain Beehive components have a very clear affinity with the Apache Struts and AXIS projects, and those projects may play a role in graduation (pending further discussion). -------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Noel J. Bergman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 11:18 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org Cc: Eddie ONeil; Craig McClanahan Subject: Beehive status? What is the status of Beehive? I will preface this by indicating that I was looking to see how Beehive was progressing towards leaving the Incubator. So I started out to see if there were new committers being considered, new names coming along, or just how discussions were occurring, and I'm not seeing any. I do see that the project status shows a mix of Committers from multiple vectors (SVN logs appear to show two committers added since August 2004, both non-BEA -- not a lot, but not nothing), although I have not looked to see how active any given Committer has been in the community. Taking a look at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/beehive.html, it appears to need some updating. It doesn't record decisions such as adding new committers, although it reflects their presence. Reviewing the Quarterly reports for this year, I realize that Beehive has not provided any content for them since last Fall. Reviewing the past several months of archives for beehive-dev, I notice that a very high percentage of messages are JIRA notices. Hardly any developer discussion appears on the mailing list. Where is it happening? I expected, for example, that I might see discussions between beehive, Struts and MyFaces developers, considering that one of the challenges for Struts v2 is JSF integration, and beehive is also addressing that issue. I do see good discussions on beehive-user, but those relate to using beehive, albeit as a developer, rather than developing it. All of this relates to Community Building. What is the perception within Beehive? Am I just missing things? --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
