Incubator

What is needed to be done to take this beyond incubator,
We use v 1.5 on this.

--------------
Hi all

My name is Raphael Bircher. I'm from the Incubator and doing shepherding
for this project this month. In my review i saw nearly no activity in
the last three months. There is also only one mentor who is inactive
since one year, (according dev ml).

The big question is: Is here still some willing and energy to develop
this project, or not.

You have not filled the bord report now, pleas do it. I will do my
shepherd report anyway, and bring the topic to the incubator list.

Greetings
Raphael

The problem of this project is, that the development seems to be 
stalled. I see nearly no community activity in the last six month. 
Apache is all about the community. It is the moast important thing of a 
project. If the community is dead, the project is dead.

The moast important thing is to restart the development here. I'm sure 
this can happend here. One thing is for exemple the build issue. Look at 
the Jenkins and you will see, that this project is not buildable in the 
last 3 month. To solve this problem would be a good start.

Finaly I hope that some of the old devs come back, they can say much 
more about the problem as me. I'm Just reviewing a project every month 
and fill a report. But I'm willing to help restart this project.

Greetings Raphael

Thanks! I'd be happy to review any work or answer questions if you're looking to contribute to these, or to other tickets marked for 1.5.0.

Cheers,
Brett

Having a look at Jira, it seems that the two "blocker" issues NPANDAY-565 and NPANDAY-564 should be pretty easy to fix. Think I'll give them a spin.

Hopefully some comitter is still around to apply the patches as soon as they are done.

The problem is, I can't tell much here. I'm a Shepherd from the
Incubator. We are a group or people who review a project every month.
The projects ar randomly attached to a person. I'm a PMC and a Committer
from the Apache OpenOffice Project. But I'm willing to help to restart
this project.

For work, look at the jira issue tracker. I hope this mails reactivate
some old contributors too here.

Off the top of my head, the "things to be done" list is:
- fix the problems that lead to integration test failures
- fix the regressions that have been filed in JIRA against 1.5.0
- run through the list of other tickets marked for 1.5.0. Some just need to be updated based on progress already made, some may need to be fixed, and others could be bumped out.
- finish migrating the site to svnpubsub so we can update the site (I started this)

We welcome help on any of these. There are other things that might interest people (like improving mono results, and some folks have been contributing to PDB support) that are always welcome, but those are what come to mind for the next release.

Cheers,
Brett

Hi,

I am intending on using NPanday in an upcoming project (Have used it just a little in an experimental project before) but am willing to help :-)
Would be good to have some sort of "Things that have to be done" List.
