Apache PDFBox January 2014 board report due
Hi,
find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to submit this
month.
Any comments, objections or additions?
<draft>
The Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working with PDF
documents.
General Comments
----------------
There are no issues that require Board attention.
Community
---------
There is a steady stream of contributions and bug reports from the community.
After adding Maruan Sahyoun and Thomas Chojecki to our ranks in March 2013
there weren't any changes so far.
429 (404 last report) subscribers on the user@ list
164 (160 last report) subscribers on the dev@ list
Releases
--------
Version 1.8.3 was released on 29th of November 2013
1.8.3 is an incremental bugfix release based on PDFBox 1.8.x.

------------
Most likely the next bugfix version 1.8.4 will be released this quarter.
The work on our next major release is an ongoing effort. The main topics are:
- switch to java 1.6
- modularization
- replace/enhance the parser
- refactor the underlying COS model
- code cleanup
- enhance rendering
</draft>

Ok, I just wanted to honor your initiative. I'll remove it to keep
the report neutral.
Thanks for your input.

OK, I'll add the following:
After the transition to the Apache CMS we are now ready to improve our
documentation. Maruan started with an overview of the PDF specification
coverage of PDFBox.
Furthermore we are going to overhaul the existing test cases. There is an
ongoing discussion on how to enhance the test coverage.

Hi,
nothing special. But as people start adding to the docs I think that’s an overall theme we could mention, as well as enhanced test coverage.
