[DISCUSS] Incubator report for August

Hi all,
it's time for a new report to IPMC.
In the following I've drafted ours: please add / correct / remove / 
comment as needed.

Regards.


Syncope is an Open Source system for managing digital identities in 
enterprise environments, implemented in JEE technology. Syncope joined 
the incubator on February 10th 2012.

Community Development:

   The transition of previous users-base to the new ASF infrastructure 
was successfully completed.
   user@ ML activity is raising, with new users evaluating the project 
and asking questions: currently 35 subscribers, including 4 archive / 
non human address.

   Two contributors were voted and reported in project site's team list 
page.
   One of such was also voted as committer and PPMC member but declined.
   dev@ ML activity is quite consistent: currently 35 subscribers, 
including 4 archive / non human address.

Project Development:

   Commits activity is healthy, commits@ ML activity is high.

   Three releases, carried out by two distinct release managers, have 
been successfully completed; the release process has been included in 
project website in order to facilitate new release managers.
   The path to 1.0.0-incubating seems to be really short now.

Web Site/Communication Development:

   The website is kept up-to-date on http://incubator.apache.org/syncope/
   Status page http://incubator.apache.org/projects/syncope.html is updated.
   It introduces Syncope, provides first content and news.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of:

    None so far.

Hi All,

I'm currently in the process of migrating to Syncope 0.7.1 (still not
1.0 because it has not yet been released :'() and during this migration
I stumbled up on a problem. This problem has to do with the moment a
newly created user is saved to the database, the part of the workflow
which is for creation of the user has the syncope user object without an
(database) id (After the create part of the workflow is finished the
user is saved and then it has the id). For some hashing we rely on the
database id of the syncope user but because this is not available at the
moment of creation this hash method fails. Now I have one solution which
consists of creating the user without the values to hash and then update
the user with the values to hash (the update part of the workflow should
do the hashing without a problem because the database id is present).
But to be honest I am not happy with that solution, I was looking for
some post creation event or similar but could not find it. So my
question to you all is, do you see any other solution for this problem?

Br,

Sarris

Ok, rephrase.

Two contributors were voted and reported in project site's team list page.
The PPMC voted a new committer and PPMC member; this candidate declined 
our invitation.

The website (http://incubator.apache.org/syncope/) is based on maven 
site generation from source tree + svnpubsub.
I think we are pretty satisfied with this and wouldn't like to change.
Anyway, does this matter in the report?

Does that mean that only one committer has been added ? Or that 3 people 
have been voted in and one has declined the invitation ?

Is the web site Confluence-based ? Would you consider switching to the 
Apache CMS system ?

Thanks !
