Tashi
rvs: Tashi looks completely dormant at this point. Despite my repeated
on-list and off-list emails it appears that I couldn't find anybody to
compile a report. The only discussion that resulted from my attempts is
captured over here: http://markmail.org/thread/mveeuubf2fcdmgcw
Personally I think we need to figure out a path to *some* kind of a
resolution here. I don't think Tashi benefits from being an incubator
project and we need to figure out how to get it to a different trajectory.
Nice shepherding, Roman. Thanks for putting in the extra effort to give Tashi
every chance to file a report.
Tashi didn't report last month either. (I've started mimicing the board and
following up monthly when reports are missed, so this month was an
out-of-cycle makeup). They didn't report in April or January, either -- in
fact, the last report was filed in October 2012.
I believe that was the last one I compiled - I know Richard Gass has
done a few since then, but I think he was constantly frustrated by
assorted procedural difficulties getting it submitted.
I agree that some sort of nudge is needed, whether that results in the new
volunteers or whether there is a motion towards retirement from the Incubator
and a migration to Github. For what it's worth, Tashi Mentor Craig Russell
noted that progress had stalled back in a note on the January 2013 report, so
I don't think we're jumping the gun.
As one of the developers of Tashi, I would be in support of making space
for more deserving projects on the Incubator.
Can I make that proposal? If so: I propose that the Apache Tashi
incubating project be retired.
I see that Craig is engaged in that discussion you started. (That thread
seems to have stalled, too -- there were four messages three days ago, but
nothing since.) My inclination would be to let Craig lead the way if he so
desires, but otherwise to send a message to the Tashi dev list that the IPMC
is considering a vote to retire and see what they do.
FWIW: Tashi made an incubating release, and in my opinion any podling which
makes it that far has succeeded. Every software product has a life cycle.
Two, actually, with a third one close to completion. :)
In retrospect, I do want to thank the Apache Incubator for hosting the
project, and the community for their help and being patient through our
troubles.
Greetings,
Michael.
