Sorry I didn't comment on this sooner... I don't think these concerns  
need to be communicated to the board, though they certainly could be...

I'm hopeful that with the new committers we'll start to see a marked  
increase in community interactions for the Imperius project. However,  
given current course and speed, I think it's unlikely that we're going  
to see a successful graduation. Hope I'm wrong. Do others share my  
concern?

Hi Kevan,

With regard to the meta-issue: The incubator has specifically  
requested that each report include the status of the project with  
regard to graduation. I would welcome it if you would like to update  
the report with some additional information. If you do so, please  
update both the imperius/board/2008-10.txt and the incubator wiki  
(which becomes the incubator submission to the board).

With regard to the actual progress, the Sun committers have not been  
able to participate until just recently. I hope that they will start  
to contribute actively to the project and we will then see positive  
community development.

Craig
