Added Edgent podling report.

  --------------------
  Edgent
  
-   Edgent is a stream processing programming model and lightweight runtime to
-   execute analytics at devices on the edge or at the gateway. (Formerly known 
-   as Quarks)
+   Apache Edgent is a programming SDK and micro-kernel style runtime
+   that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling
+   local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming
+   from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of
+   all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones). Working in
+   conjunction with centralized analytic systems, Apache Edgent provides
+   efficient and timely analytics across the whole IoT ecosystem: from the
+   center to the edge.
  
  Edgent has been incubating since 2016-02-29.

-    1.
-    2.
-    3.
  
- Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
- aware of?
+   1.  Re-creating a working community
+   2.  Re-populating the PPMC
+   3.  Replenishing the group of mentors
  
- How has the community developed since the last report?

+   For the past months there has been absolutely no activity in the project
+   Even if there has been an occasional Email from an external entity in the
+   last 3 months, the activity in the project has been solely me (Christofer)
+   writing emails without getting any form of response from the rest of the
+   committers, PPMCs or mentors
+ 
+   The main problem here is, that when being voted in to the project, I had
+   been working on the build, but before I was able to start digging in the code
+   the rest of the team disappeared without me having had the chance to do a
+   reasonably significant amount of know-how transfer. Currently we have a
+   codebase for which we have a detailed understanding of the build, but
+   almost none of the code itself.

+   *   Total, we have 82 subscribers to our mailing list, an increase of 5 
+       since the last report.
+   *   There have been two questions asked by users and two little discussions 
+       about these issues on the list
+   *   Discussions started on the private list have been left unresponded
+   *   On 19th September 2018 Christofer had a talk about Apache Edgent on the 
+       Solutions.Hamburg TechCamp
+ 
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+   *   According to JIRA, 0 new issue were added and none were resolved in the last 90 days
+   *   0 commits were made in the last 90 days.
+ 
+ How would you assess the podling's maturity?
+ 
+   After withdrawal of most of the active committers and PPCM members currently
+   a new committer, PPMC and mentor-base has to be built. Being working hard on
+   the PLC4X podling, I am currently evaluating if I am going to be willing and able
+   to achieve this goal

  When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?
  
+   In August 2017, we added Christofer Dutz as a new committer
+   and PPMC member.
+ 
  Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling
  through the cracks? In the latter case, please list any open issues
  that need to be addressed.
+ 
+   I just double checked, but it seems our mentors are not existent
+   there had been one or two issues where feedback was explicitly 
+   asked for, but both the PPMC as well as all mentors remained silent.
+   Except Justin mentioning the absence of mentors.
