Apache SensSoft

Apache SensSoft is a generalized user behavioral logging platform for web pages and thin-client applications

Apache SensSoft has been incubating since 2016-07-13.

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

  1. Extending release process to other parts of the SensSoft software stack.
  2. Grow the Apache SensSoft (Incubating) Committer/Community Base.
  3. Complete the issues highlighted at the SensSoft Roadmap
  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SENSSOFT/Roadmaps <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SENSSOFT/Roadmaps> 

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

The community submitted 12 nominations for new Podling names. The names are collected for easy reference on our confluence space [1].  JIRA tickets have been written to track progress on research on PODLINGNAMESEARCH board [2].  


How has the community developed since the last report?

The community has been:

-discussing reaching out to other open source projects to identify other potential communities (analytical technologies) to drive developments, as well as increase interest in the Podling.

-discussing research applications with university research labs in machine learning and social computing.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Project maturity roadmaps (Wiki) and version release plans (JIRA) continue to be maintained.
JIRA boards continue to be maintained

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
