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.

Apache PhotArk will be a complete open source photo gallery application
including a content repository for the images, a display piece, an access
control layer, and upload capabilities.
PhotArk was accepted for Incubation on August 19, 2008.
PhotArk has a small community of contributors, mostly students, that need a
lot of attention in order to keep them active. The recent move in the
project direction to become a hybrid HTML5/Cordova mobile application that
aggregates images from different photo sources has contributed to bring old
members of the community and the is also two students participating in
GSoC that have been doing a great job and became committers.
The community has discussed retirement, and few PMC members want to still
contribute to the project. Having said that, the reality is that PhotArk is
a small community, where the contributions are 100% done by volunteers in
their own free time, with some dependency on GSoC to attract higher level
of activity as the students can devote their full time on the project.
Right now the community is looking into preparing a release based on the
features that were implemented during the past few months.
Issues before graduation :
PhotArk started as a project with no initial code-base, and we have
grown the community to the minimal independent committer size required
for graduation. We need to make these contributors constantly active
in order to think about graduation again, or recruit new contributors.
If the project can sustain the same level of activity for the next three
months, I believe we could think about graduation again.

IPMC comments:
jukka: It seems like the risk of relying heavily on GSoC contributions
has materialized as a large drop in activity after summer.

jukka: Just one active mentor, though Luciano is doing great.
The heavy reliance on GSoC is a diversity concern.

PhotArk was accepted for Incubation on August 19, 2008. PhotArk has a small community of contributors, mostly student, that need a lot of attention in order to keep them active, and the lack of attention made the community stale for a bit and we are starting to bootstrap it again with some committers becoming active again, and other like myself freeing up to be able to work on the project again. The community have also decided to move the project direction to become a hybrid HTML5/Cordova mobile application that aggregates images from different photo sources such as: Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, etc. And we will have two students helping on this project as part of GSoC 2012.

PhotArk was accepted for Incubation on August 19, 2008. PhotArk has a small community of contributors, mostly student, that need a lot of attention in order to keep them active, and the lack of attention made the community stale to almost a zero activity in the last three or four months. Currently the is a community discussion on the future of the project, and one of the ideas that has gotten the community attention is to make PhotArk to move away from a image repository, and become a HTML5/Cordova mobile application that aggregates images from different photo sources such as: Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, etc. We have also raised the question with IPMC if we need to follow any specific process in case the community decide to change the scope of the project, but we haven't got any answer yet.
