2004-04-20

Status report for JuiCE for the Incubator JuiCE is just entering
incubation, and is currently in the process of starting up. We are
currently waiting on CLAs from core developers to enable us to get
started. * is the STATUS file up to date? (also post link) Yes -
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/juice.html * any legal,
cross-project or personal issues that still need to be addressed? No.
* what has been done for incubation since the last report? JuiCE has
only just entered the Incubator. We are currently in the process of
getting infrastructure up and running, accounts set up and code
imported. * plans and expectations for the next period? Getting code
imported, web site setup and development started.

April 2006

Good activity in the previous quarter. Werner Dittman was voted in as a committer and has been refactoring the initial code into a more long term format. A test build has also been created on a Win32 platform.

The team involved in this are all committers on the xml-security project. Over the next quarter we will be looking to promote this from the Incubator into the xml project as a part of xml-security.

Incubation

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.

Collaborative Development

Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project?
Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.)
Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?

Licensing awareness

Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers?

Project Specific
