[graph] is the projec alive?

Commons developers,

There's a 'graph2' module in sandbox CVS containing implementation
of 'graph' structure. I'd like to ask about status of this project.
CVS looks like untouched for about a year.
This package is not released (because it's in sandbox).
On the other side Maven depends on this.
So - are there any plans for promoting this to 'commons' and release?

Thanks
Tomek

There's lots of stuff which is, ahem, fragile, in particular
the XML output stuff.

Well, it seems current XML supportis more for debugging purposes,
but adding some more serious support for reading and writing will
certainly be a worthwile addition. Instead of the homegrown format
a somewhat more widely used vocabulary would seem in order, however,
there are quite a few XML vocabularies for generic graphs out there,
but not really anything a standard blessed by some acknowledged
consortium nor a sort of "industry standard".
Some Candidates for discussion:
  http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~puninj/XGMML/
  http://www.concept67.fsnet.co.uk/gsix/
  http://www.gupro.de/GXL/
  http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~puninj/RGML/ (with some W3C blessing)
  http://zvon.org/ZvonSW/ZvonGraphotron/index.html
A XML-ification of the GraphViz input would be also worth a look,
if anybody is interesting in graph layout.

Any takers for writing up a comprehensive review of these formats?

I was talking to David Dixon-Peugh and what might happen is we just pick
up the code and move it to codehaus.

henri's right but there's one corollary i'd like to add: in order to gain 
promotion to the commons proper, graph needs an apache committer to 
champion it. maven seems like the best place to find one.

People to talk to look like jvanzyl, dion and mvdb. I think they all
listen here, but the Maven list might be better monitored.

There's no PROPOSAL.html or STATUS.html in there, so it's not got the
necessary requirements for a promotion to Commons proper to be considered.
