far:

======
Shindig is a reference implementation of the OpenSocial and gadgets stack.
The active community has built two parallel implementations of the
OpenSocial and gadgets spec; one in Java and one in PHP.

Incubating since: 2007-12-06

High-level status summary during last quarter:

 * stable release compliant to OpenSocial v0.9 currently being reviewed by
PMC
 * updates for OpenSocial v0.9 are implemented and in production on several
sites that support OpenSocial
 * two new committers joined the community
======

We need to add the top 2 or 3 things required for graduation -- what do you
think they are?

Thanks,
Lane

Okay - I added that text.

Now we need sign off by mentor(s).

I'd suggest:

"Discussion about graduation is ongoing. The most pressing need that was
identified was to diversify our committer base for PHP. In many other
ways, the project and community are in good shape."

Thanks for the input.  I've added that text (
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/September2009).

We still need two things:

   1. What's needed for graduation
   2. Signoff by mentor(s)


For 1, with the new PHP committers I think we could probably go for
graduation in the next 3 months (and just state our intentions in this
section).  Short of that I'd default to "Continue to introduce new
committers and improve our release process".

"The committer base on the Java side is relatively varied. However,
until now we have had a single committer working on the PHP
implementation. This changed with the addition of two new committers
focussing on PHP. The lack of committer count (and thus diversity) on
PHP was a graduation issue. The addition of these two committers
certainly moves the project in the right direction regarding
graduation."
