Roman,
So here's what I'm seeing for some of why the reports are missing.
- log4cxx2 - Likely stuck in moderation limbo.
- Argus/Ranger - confused about monthly reporting vs quarterly reporting.
- Kalumet - seems like there's only one active member. He brought up the
topic of retirement.
- NPanday and Ripple are repeat offenders.

> > Streams has been incubating since 2012-11-20.

> > The project provides a framework for abstracting away individual data
> > schemas and API protocols from solutions built to collect, publish,
> > process, and analyze digital activity data, as well as a community-driven
> > process for determining best practice usage of the ActivityStreams
> > specification with real-world datasets - valuing working, tested,
> > adaptable, useful code over strict adherence to existing specs.
> > Importantly, the project does not impose one execution framework -
> modules
> > built to Apache Streams interfaces and coding standards may be
> instantiated
> > within multiple JVM-based runtime containers, including popular
> ‘big-data'
> > frameworks.

> > Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
