[DRAFT][REPORT] Board report for May 2024

["Gary D. Gregory" <gg...@apache.org>]

Hi All,

Here is a draft of the board report I plan on submitting later today. Inputs welcome.

## Description:
Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible 
Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms 
XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and 
presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable 
information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of 
information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing 
components in order to engender such improvements.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing with low to moderate activity.
Issues for the board: None.

## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (20 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-08-07.
- No new committers. Last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-06-29.

## Project Activity:
We are working toward maintenance and feature releases for the Xalan-Java
component, slowly, and continuing to improve that build process. There has not
been a release in over a year though.

## Community Health:
Most of the project activity happens on the mailing list and the git repository. The activity is low to moderate, and ebbs and flows. The mailing list reflects plans toward maintenance and plans for new features.
