Incubation Status Reports

2004-03-06 jUDDI Status

2004-03-06 jUDDI Status * Is the STATUS file up to date? (also post link) Yes. http://incubator.apache.org/projects/juddi.html * Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be addressed? No outstanding issues. * What has been done for incubation since the last report? All project committers have received confirmation that CLA's have been recieved and accepted. The jUDDI Web Site has continued to be updated and built out. http://ws.apache.org/juddi/ All source files have been modified to include the ASF v2.0 copyright notice. The mailing lists juddi-user@ws.apache.org and juddi-dev@ws.apache.org are now being archived at both Apache and MARC. Past list traffic has been imported into the Apache archives. License files have been added for most non-Apache libraries that are distributed with jUDDI. * What are the project's plans and expectations for the next period? Complete review of non-Apache libraries bundled with jUDDI removing any that should not be included and adding LICENSE files for any that requires one. Assemble a to-do list (roadmap) for future development and publish to the jUDDI web site. Upgrade to Axis 1.2beta (Axis 1.1 is currently bundled with jUDDI). Refactor CVS to create a areas for the jUDDI java source directory, the jUDDI website and locations for addons, contributions or prototypes that do not fit well in the jUDDI source tree. Right now everything is in the jUDDI source tree. Exit the Apache Incubator (hey, it was fun). Produce an 0.8.x or 0.9 release.of jUDDI. * Any recommendations for how incubation could run more smoothly for you? The current process has worked well for us.

2003-10-19 jUDDI Status

2003-10-19 jUDDI Status * Is the STATUS file up to date? (also post link) Yes. http://incubator.apache.org/projects/juddi.html * Any legal, cross-project or personal issues that still need to be addressed? No outstanding issues. * What has been done for incubation since the last report? All four project committers have submitted CLA's. We're still waiting on confirmation for one of these A jUDDI Web Site has been created at Apache and the original jUDDI web site redirects visitors to the new web site. http://ws.apache.org/juddi/ An cvs module is in place and the jUDDI source has been imported. Java packages have been renamed from "org.juddi" to "org.apache.juddi" and all source files have been modified to include the ASF copyright notice. The mailing lists juddi-user@ws.apache.org and juddi-dev@ws.apache.org have been created and are being archived. Issue tracking has been setup under Jira. Gump is successfully building jUDDI. http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/ws-juddi/ * Plans and expectations for the next period? Still need to acquire and check in license files for dependent non-Apache libraries that are distributed with jUDDI. Waiting to be notified that the fourth committer's CLA has been received and his account created and granted the appropriate privs. Assemble a to-do list (roadmap) for future development and plan the next jUDDI release. We'd like to wrap up the few issues that are outstanding and exit incubation before the next period comes to a close. * Any recommendations for how incubation could run more smoothly for you? I've heard reference to a STATUS file as well as the jUDDI cwiki that I've been updating. While I've assumed they are one-in-the-same I'm not certain of that (perhaps you can enlighten me). If they are not they same thing then I'm confused about the need to keep status in two different places. Even this status report is more or less a reformatted version the cwiki document.
