Shepherd/Mentor notes:
+ The Taverna podling is hindered by a lack of active mentors (myself
+ included) - the project has appealled to general@ on a couple of
+ occasions
+
+ 3 of the 4 active contributors are from one institution and contribution
+ is related to EU project commitments. The codebase is large and has a
+ long history. One option is to identify a "core" and move out the rest
+ until such time as they are sustainable. More active PMC/commiters would be a
+ big boost.
+
+ The comment from the last report applies:
+
+ Drew Farris (shepherd):
+ Little mentor activity on the mailing lists, could use another active
+ mentor. Healthy activity in the community.
