Report for September

[Daniel Gruno <hu...@apache.org>]

Hi folks,
I've started on our report for September, which should(?) be the last
monthly report - after that, it will be quarterly. Report is paste at
the bottom of this email.

As noted, our primary goal right now is to attract more contributors.
I sincerely hope that the coffee-and-cake branch will make it easier to
contribute :)

With regards,
Daniel.

Pony Mail

Pony Mail is a mail-archiving, archive viewing, and interaction service,
that
can be integrated with many email platforms.

Pony Mail has been incubating since 2016-05-27.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  1. Grow the community
  2. Make contributions easier (lower the bar for hacking on code/docs/UI)
  3. Increase awareness of the project

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

None


How has the community developed since the last report?

Slight uptick in active members of the community, we now count roughly
10 active people
participating either on the mailing list or IRC.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Work has begun on a redesign of the UI, allowing for contributions more
easily.
This is codenamed 'coffee and cake', and is expected to reach a usable
phase in
a month or two.

Date of last release:

  2016-08-02

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

None since inception. See graduation info point 1.
The codebase needs to be more accessible before contributions can occur.
