Sorry to be blunt. "Can it!" - That's what we did with TSIK. There's no point continuing incubation. We are not here to serve the interests of parties/corporations.

That's not much of a plan, which is what the board is asking for. Paul and I are about at our wit's end on what to do here, besides upping the number of messages that say "please talk to us on the list". But given that development is happening somewhere else, I am doubtful as to whether that would make any difference. Late today a thread started up which clearly shows that some amount of development is happening elsewhere: <http://mail-archive.com/heraldry- dev%40incubator.apache.org/msg00147.html>. I would definitely appreciate concrete suggestions of things to do.
