Board history: Corinthia

ASF Oak Leaf Icon

Corinthia

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

Corinthia is a toolkit/application for converting between and editing common
office file formats, with an initial focus on word processing. It is
designed to cater for multiple classes of platforms - desktop, web, and
mobile - and relies heavily on web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript for representing and manipulating documents. The toolkit is
small, portable, and flexible, with minimal dependencies. The target
audience is developers wishing to include office viewing, conversion, and
editing functionality into their applications.

Corinthia has been incubating since 2014-12-08.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

[none]  The IPMC Vote to retire Corinthia was approved on 2015-11-19

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

[none]

How has the community developed since the last report?

The community effectively disbanded by withdrawal of the primary
developers on 2015-09-05.  The community crisis mentioned on the
2015-09-02 report was not resolved.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Development ceased at the time of the last report.

Date of last release:

2015-08-28 Release 0.1

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Solve the community crisis and avoid a break
2.
3.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

The community is experiencing a major breakdown. The mentors have accessed
the situation including several attempts to stop the breakdown without
success. IPMC have been informed with a suggestion which are being
considered.

It is to be expected that several core developers will leave the project
in a very short term unless a solution is found.

How has the community developed since the last report?

We are proud that we have managed to make our first release.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Added support for 32/64bit windows.

Made the setup of a build environment a lot easier, a PPMC provide all
third party libraries prebuilt.

A long discussion about licenses lead to major difficulties in deciding
whether and how to proceed with one of the project’s two main
components, an end-user editing app. As a result this development is
being redirected.

Our buildbot setup is slowly taking shape, this is important since it will
allow a nightly build as well as a nightly test.

  Still a new podling, growing pretty well though.  Small number of
  participants that may need further growth to be viable long term.
