[technology-pmc] Attention turning to ALF
|
Technology PMC:
Our review of project status has brought us to ALF [1]. Please take a
few minutes to review some of the relatively-recent discussion between
the PMC and ALF [2]. The short version is that some months ago, we
expressed concern that while the ALF project does seem to be committing
code, they have not been developing very much of a community or
committer diversity for the past several months.
At first glance, the project info page [1] clearly needs some attention
(a more concise description would be a good start). We need to spend a
few minutes reviewing their community-facing content to see if there is
anything that they can do to better help visitors become a part of the
project. I'm also concerned that their project plan is out of date and
that the structure gives it a feel of rigidity that may turn away
potential contributors.
My main goal with ALF is to help them develop a plan for moving out of
the Technology Project. As per the Technology project description, the
lifecycle of a Technology project should be relatively short and so a
plan needs to be developed to take ALF into the next stage of its existence.
As far as I can tell, ALF has not had a review since August 2006. I
don't see any plans for an upcoming review. If this is indeed the case
(I'll confirm this with EMO), then they need to (at least) plan for a
continuation review.
