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.

The Apache Lenya CMS is a Cocoon based XML/XHTML content management
system.
Issues:
The board submitted several questions to the PMC after the last report.
1) No commits
- It appears that there are few places using Lenya yet. Most of the
previous committers have moved their development efforts on to new
places
2) No releases
- There haven't been any releases as there haven't been any commits
that have warrented a new release. So while there are the PMC numbers
to vote on a release, no one has fealt that unreleased changes are
worth a release.
3) Questions on the list
- Questions aren't being asked, so they aren't being answered. Queries
to the list aren't being ignored.
The board follow up sparked conversation on list about options. It seems
that the community feels that it is a good time to move to the attic.
A formal vote on the resolution will be held. The voting time as per the
Lenya guidelines would call for a one week voting period. That means
that the resolution, if passed, would appear on next months agenda.

No new releases this quarter.

The Apache Lenya CMS is a Cocoon based XML/XHTML content management system. Development: Last release: 2.0.4 on 2011-03-14 Community: Last change to community was PMC addition in October 2011. Activity: The main question from the board was project activity. The project has experienced a downturn in activity over the past 12-18 months. Activity has dropped to near zero. Casual observation of participation indicates that there are enough active PMC members to act on the needs of the project. However, an inquiry as to those that were willing to participate actively in the project on votes if necessary only resulted in two PMC members showing interest. This means that there may not be enough PMC votes to take action on the project. The last vote required of the PMC was October 2011. If interest in PMC members does not pick up before the next reporting quarter, the Attic may be the best course of action. There currently are no committers or contributors that could be promoted to PMC status. ------------------------------------------------------ End of minutes for the March 19, 2014 board meeting.

Issues needing board attention ------------------------------ None Changes in the PMC membership ----------------------------- None General status -------------- Lenya 2.0 is released! Woohoo! Issues still to be dealt with by the Lenya PMC ------------------------------------------------ None at this time. Progress of the project ----------------------- After we struggled for a long time to get 2.0 out, we finally did this quarter, and things have picked up steam since then. It appears that we overcame some psychological barriers ;) A vote to branch 2.0 from trunk is currently underway, as is a vote for a 2.0.1 release. Several nice cleanups are taking place, such as the removal of XSP from Lenya, performance improvements, and bug fixes. We are also discussing the scope of 2.1 development.
Issues needing board attention ------------------------------ None Changes in the PMC membership ----------------------------- None General status -------------- We just entered the freeze period for Lenya 2.0 Issues still to be dealt with by the Lenya PMC ------------------------------------------------ None at this time. Progress of the project ----------------------- We have started work on making our project website editable by Lenya directly. A demo is available at http://lenya.zones.apache.org:9999/docu/authoring/ We voted in a new Lenya comitter, Markus Angst. We also had a Lenya hackathon in Freiburg, Germany. Some promising work on a JCR module for Lenya was taken up by a user, Gerd Schrick.
RELEASES / ONGOING WORK - We decided to rename 1.4 to 2.0 to reflect the magnitude of the changes - Our hotlist of bugs to be resolved for 2.0 is currently down to 1 bug, so with luck we will release soon. COMMUNITY - new committers: Juergen Ragaller - Another Lenya Hackathon (Oct 2007, Freiburg Germany) is in the planning stages. LEGAL - no issues
RELEASES / ONGOING WORK - release of 1.2.5, a maintenance release - the first 1.4 rc is really close COMMUNITY - new committers: Richard Frovarp, Bob Harner (vote still going on) - new PMC members: Jann Forrer, Joern Nettingsmeyer - emeritus PMC members: Christian Egli, Edith Chevrier, Michael Wechner, Andreas Kuckartz, Rolf Kulemann, Torsten Schlabach, Doug Chestnut, Dale Christ - A hackathon will be held in Zurich, Switzerland in July 2007 LEGAL - no issues
Things in Lenya land are kinda quiet lately, although the community keeps chugging along on the code base. One thing were we have been dropping the ball on have been maintenance releases, but we addressed that this quarter: a vote for it just passed. I am personally concerned about the long-term health of the project. A few committers have either changed jobs or otherwise moved on, which has reduced the ranks of active committers considerably. It remains to be seen if we as a community can attract enough new blood to make up for this decline. Definitely something for the next quarter to talk about on the dev mailing list. Work on the 1.4 code base continues, with a new RC imminent. The stable 1.2 branch receives the occasional fix, but no new development. There are no new committers this quarter, and no isssues requiring board attention at this time.
The Lenya project added two new committers in the last period, Joern Nettingsmeier and Renaud Richardet. There were no new releases in the period. A maintenance release 1.2.5 has been proposed though for the next week. The codebase saw some nice enhancements in the period: * unified resource handling * flowscript integration simplified * continued switching to UUID for content No legal issues at this time.
The last three months have been a busy time at Lenya. A lot of code was written, and major progress made on trunk. A short list of enhancements: * almost all content is now referenced by UUID * built-in Lucene index gets updated every time a document changes * more code moved to modules * arbitrary, configurable meta data introduced * unit tests are run nightly again The PMC discussed, voted on and published its guidelines at http://lenya.apache.org/guidelines.html No new committers have been added in the period, but some users show promise for the next period.
Issues needing board attention ------------------------------ None. Changes in the PMC membership ----------------------------- No new committers/PMC members. General status -------------- Development on both trunk and the 1.2 branch continues, with improved WebDAV support, better test cases, better Open Office support, a simplified build process, and further work on the repository layer, and modularization of the code. A discussion on the PMC list about the expectations for the PMC chair sparked work on the Lenya project guidelines on the dev@ list. The work to complete these guidelines is ongoing at the time of this report.
Community No new releases this quarter, which towards the end of the quarter led to the election of a new RM (Antonio Gallardo) and a discussion about the best way to handle release duties, and several people volunteered to do releases in the future until Antonio stepped up as a new RM. We also added one new commiter, Felix Roethenbacher. Several new users are standing out with their contributions to the Wiki and code discussions. Code A lot of work went into better integration of Jackrabbitt and breaking up the trunk code base into modules. We also added support for OpenDocument, improved WebDAV support, added a Wiki module and added another editor option, FckEditor. Our zone also received a fair amount of attention and now has nightly documentation drafts and nightly updated demo sites for both trunk and the 1.2x branch. Legal No open issues.
Community: - No new release this quarter. Our regularly scheduled maintenance releases haven't been done in the last quarter because the RM (me) didn't get around to it. The long-awaited 1.4 release was further delayed due to scope creep. Getting releases out again will be a priority for the next period. - Our experience with Summer of Code was a mixed bag. We had 2 students working on projects. One of them unfortunately failed the project (he didn't submit code and was generally unresponsive during the project duration). The other student, Robert Goene, contributed good work on Lucene / Nutch integration. The code review of his contribution sparked a number of new ideas for the future, and the project is currently working on integrating his changes. - We voted in 2 new committers, Josias Thoeny and Paul Ercolino. Both have been contributing code for quite a while, and had been 'under investigation' as potential committers for quite some time. The Lenya PMC had a discussion about the optimal length of time before someone ought to be proposed as a committer, trying to balance community dynamics and 'committer inflation'. Legal: No open issues.
Community: - Lenya continues to release maintenance versions of lenya 1.2 on a 2 month schedule. We have begun to release alpha versions of 1.4 as well - No new committers in the report period - we have 2 Google Summer of Code students working on Lenya. They each have write access to a separate sandbox in the Lenya svn repository, allowing them to work efficiently without having the full committer privileges. - lenya.zones.apache.org has been set up and hosts live demos of Lenya. Misc: We are gearing up for the 1.4 release and have made good progress with jackrabbitt integration.
Community: - Lenya 1.2.3 was released in May. Lenya has adopted a 2-monthly release cycle, which has worked well. - work has begun on a 1.4alpha1 release - we have one new committer, Jann Forrer - two committers joined the PMC, Torsten Schlabach and J. Wolfgang Kaltz. - a new PMC chair is currently being elected. Result should be available next week. Misc: Interest in Lenya is growing nicely, both on the user and developer lists [1], the number of submitted patches, and wiki activity.

Issues needing Board attention --------------------------------- * none atm New commiters and new PMC members --------------------------------- * none atm ? General status --------------------------------- * For Lenya 1.4 it is planned to use a DB backed (JCR...) content repository. Unfortunately we didn't made big progress towards that for several reasons; much time was spent with the TLP move, the 1.2.1 release, and release guidelines/plans. Beside that, the repo. integration requires some major detail changes and thus will bind a lot of resources, which the community couldn't afford yet. * The content repo. integration needs more active discussion. This is a high priority topic for Lenya's future and acceptance. * TLP move complete including source files and infrastructure resources Progress --------------------------------- * The Lenya community set up a general release plan and a release how to. See - http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/ReleaseHowTo - http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/ReleasePlan It is planed to make small releases every 2-3 months * Lenya 1.2.1 was released at the end of December along the above schedule. This is the first TLP release. * Lenya 1.2.2 will be released at the end of February * Lenya 1.4 branch is under active development. At the moment this branch mainly contains minor architectural changes and most bug fixes from the 1.2.x branch. A lot of progress has been made on the 1.4 branch to remove deprecated Cocoon technologies, such as Actions and XSP. A major problem is to stabilize new medium features and to keep the 1.2.x branch in sync with the trunk. Due to the instability of the trunk, some patches can not be ported and tested easily from 1.2.x branch. We need to set up a feature list for 1.4. * Lenya now has Gump integration, although currently against the Cocoon trunk. Efforts to enable a Cocoon 2.1 Gump run have so far received no interest from the Cocoon community.
Issues needing Board attention
---------------------------------
* Make sure Lenya PMC chair has access to necessary files in
/foundation and /board to do his PMC job (?)
New commiters and new PMC members
---------------------------------
* We voted 3 new commiters
- Andreas Kuckartz
- Wolfgang Kaltz
- Torsten Schlabach
* We welcomed Antonio Gallardo as a new Lenya PMC member
General status
---------------------------------
* Switched from CVS to SVN
* Lenya was graduated from an incubator project to an Apache TLP.
* TLP move is almost complete. SVN, mailinglists and web space moved
from incubator space to Lenya's own TLP resources. Wiki still needs
to be moved.
* Website is currently being updated
* New commiters sent their CLAs and accounts are almost setup. CLAs
sometimes seem to get lost. Andreas and Torsten are still trying to
get their CLAs on file.
Progress
---------------------------------
* The Lenya community is preparing the 1.2.1 release. This release
contains a lot of bug fixes since 1.2 and a refactored build
process, which lowers the entry barrier for new users. After we
cleaned up the website and the docs we will release maybe in a few
weeks
* Users actively support the 1.2.1 release with testing and filing
bugzilla reports
* Lenya 1.4 branch was created. We plan to integrate a JCR repository
(JackRabbit). After the 1.2.1 release we will concentrate on the
repo integration.
* External WYSIWYG editor (Kupu, BXE) integration has been improved.
We use svn:externals to circumvent separate checkouts for users.
