Hi Justin, Thank you for the feedback.
We have addressed the points in the past few days as follows: 1. PMC Affiliations The affiliations for the proposed initial PMC members have been updated [4]. 2. Branding and Documentation - We have adjusted the description of the WeChat account on our website to ensure it is not labeled as an "official ASF" channel. - Regarding the documentation, we have changed the display string from "Last updated" to "Page last updated" to clarify that it refers to the modification date of a specific page [1]. 3. Legacy GitHub Organization The legacy GitHub organization "hugegraph" [2] has been archived. Also we have added a notice in the README to provide some context regarding the project's donation to the ASF, and to provide a new repository location. 4. Legacy Maven Repositories - Currently, libraries on "mvnrepository.com" already display a redirection notice to the official Apache artifacts [3]. - We have emailed Sonatype to request a similar "relocation" or "archival" notice for the legacy hugegraph artifacts, and also to request they lower the search ranking for these historical artifacts to avoid confusion [5]. 5. Project Vitality and Contribution Diversity Status Explanation: - Stability: HugeGraph was under development for 5+ years before entering the ASF incubator. As the core architecture is now stable, the frequency of massive commits from early contributors has naturally decreased. - Technical Barrier: Developing graph-related systems involves a steep learning curve since it's a relatively niche field. There is a relatively high ba rrier for deep development of a graph database. Future Actions: - We are encouraging existing committers to re-engage through more discussions and community meetups. - We are actively involving developers from SMEs and academia. More than half of our recently elected committers are students, which is a positive shift. - To lower the entry barrier, we are producing more source code guides, blogs, and LLM-integrated guides (like Deepwiki) to help new developers learn more efficiently. Overall, the HugeGraph community will strive for long-term and stable iterations. While the speed of updates may slow down, the project will become more solid and diversified. 1. https://hugegraph.apache.org/docs/ 2. https://github.com/hugegraph/ 3. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.baidu.hugegraph 4. https://lists.apache.org/thread/4mdyh3zm7fkx3ly87xhcglnq3bl133cb 5. https://lists.apache.org/thread/740htw9vyls8bndz28o3yksyr5b6c8oc Regards, Jermy Li On behalf of the HugeGraph Community
