[DRAFT] October board report due

Sidebar first: Having fun with the wiki at the moment, can't seem to
create a new page for the October 2009 report (new WikiName added here
[1], trying to create it ultimately ends up here [2] ).

So pasting draft below, more input and/or feedback on general@ please
(by the 18th).

== October 2009 Board Report ==

Jakarta status report for August to October 2009.

==== PMC membership updates ====

Over the last three months, the Jakarta PMC has gone from being the
largest PMC in the foundation records to the second largest, from
having 120 members on the PMC to currently 87. A number of PMC members
who no longer have a lot of interest or time to devote towards Jakarta
anymore have stepped down. At the same time, we also checked with 28
PMC members who were no longer subscribed to the private list, 2 of
whom decided to stay on and subscribe.

=== Releases ===

 * None

=== Subproject news ===

==== BCEL ====

Occasional post to the user list - otherwise quiet, in maintenance mode.

==== BSF ====

There have been discussions about a 3.0 release. There has also been
interest from Rony Flatscher in continuing the 2.x line of development
for a 2.5 bugfix release.

There have been a number of improvements, an SVN reorganization and
preparations towards a 3.0 release, mostly by sebb.

==== Cactus ====

A couple of user list posts, no development activity since last report.

==== ECS ====

No activity - maintenance mode.

==== JCS ====

The user list has been active, and a couple of bug fixes have recently
gone in. Aaron Smuts has been responding to user queries and making
the code fixes.

==== JMeter ====

JMeter has been the busiest part of Jakarta in the last three months.

Sebb continues to make many improvements. The code in trunk is being
upgraded to JDK 1.5 which has offered the opportunity for related
improvements. There have been a number of new Bugzilla reports,
including a few patches being proposed.

==== ORO ====

Some activity in bugzilla in September - maintenance mode.

==== Regexp ====

No activity - maintenance mode.

==== Taglibs ====

This is the last board report that will list Taglibs updates.

As reported in July, the Tomcat project will host three of the taglibs
(RDC, Standard, Extended) going forward and the rest of the taglibs
have been retired. Henri Yandell did most of the work to make this
happen.

The SVN move for the three taglibs is complete. The websites have been
migrated to the tomcat.apache.org site. Bugzilla and Gump have been
redirected. The taglibs-user list has been maintained and moved over
to the tomcat.apache.org domain name, while the main Tomcat
development list will now be used for contributor discussions. The
taglibs-dev Jakarta list has been closed.

Taglibs updates will henceforth be part of the Tomcat board reports.

==== Retired Projects ====

 * Slide
 * Taglibs (partial)

Same for me. Does not seem to be possible to create any new pages
currently (same applies to JMeter Wiki). At least it stops spammers
;-)
