Just signed this off, but I note the project seems very quiet.
Has there been off-list communication of late, and has anything
come of community building.  I seem to recollect there was
another potential community member last time I joined a
Thursday call, but that was quite a while back.

Blast...looks like Justin beat me to editing the wiki tonight by 26 minutes. 🙁

Here's my "sign off" on the report all the same. 😜

Randall, thanks for writing it this time. I agree we need to get back to a regular call/check-in time of some kind.

Nick, in terms of community building (besides the call), I think we need some sort of connective contact with other projects (inside and outside) Apache. We used to have that via Hypothes.is and I Annotate, but (as everyone knows) the world has changed shape a bit, and re-envisioning annotation in this "new" context is probably overdue.

Annotator as a library is solid, but we continue to miss the "connection" with app builders--who believe it's "not too hard" to start from scratch and then once they found themselves too deep in the weeds refuse to change course to use a shared library. #maybe 😜

At any rate, we should have a chat about what's next. I'm open to time suggestions, and definitely up for chatting. 🙂

Cheers!
Benjamin

Thanks for checking in, Nick.

There hasn't been much activity lately. A combination of work, home, and
holiday obligations, I suspect.

I think conference calls were really helpful for us, but weekly might have
been too frequent for folks availability and pace of development. I'll
start another thread to kick off picking a time for maybe a monthly, or
twice monthly meeting, and see if we can't get things going this year.

There's been a little communication on the IRC channel, which included some
discussion of cutting a release. I'll get that moving this week, too, with
another thread.
