It was never updated to handle things like git, github, etc. I think if the remaining useful data from clutch can be folded in to the public display we're OK. I do think some of the automated information it provides is useful - number of days incubating, distribution area, but I'm personally OK if clutch goes away when this is all done (work has started to generate podling reporting data out of whimsy using a data feed, https://whimsy.apache.org/public/public_podlings.json - take a look at the schedule section). I never quite liked the color coded table with characters for column headers. If we still want an incubator level "executive summary" type of report, that can be built from the data feed as well. > It looks to me like podlings.xml + whimsy roster + a graduation > checklist / report including items like software grants, list of > releases, podling name search etc. would do - but I haven't checked > the impact on the clutch report. > Funny thing. I've never actually been on the creating side for an incubator release. Does projects.a.o work for podlings?
