JSPWiki has been troubled for quite some time.

Following up on this and since JSPWiki is by far our oldest podling, I
felt it appropriate to summarize its status and outlook from the IPMC
perspective in this months board report. Here's my summary:

 JSPWiki is our oldest podling with over five years in the Incubator.
 Activity in JSPWiki was very low for a few years and they've yet to
 create their first Apache release. Earlier this year they discussed
 leaving the Incubator and the ASF since they clearly weren't making
 much progress. That discussion led to some revival of activity and
 the decision to continue in the Incubator. Unfortunately the podling
 no longer has enough active mentors, which has led to some trouble
 with premature attempts at cutting releases or graduating. Despite
 these troubles the podling is making progress, and with sufficient
 help from the IPMC they might well become ready to graduate within
 a few quarters.

JSPWiki committers/mentors, does this sound like an accurate summary?

Sounds fair enough. I'm still actively mentoring the project but could it use some more mentors.

The project is in the middle of cutting their first release, and we all know that the first time is the hardest.

The biggest issue regarding the release was the decision to *not* release the 3.0 code base that had been the focus of previous efforts.

If everyone stays focused, I believe that the project can graduate within a few months after release.
