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.

PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that is designed to run well within the browser. PouchDB has been incubating since 2025-04-15. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Making a release 2. Adding contributors 3. Finish infrastructure migration ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? There is no “issue” per-se, but we want to highlight that we have made slow progress on knocking down incubation progress in favour of advancing the project and its infrastructure a bit more before going after next steps. See project development section for details. ### How has the community developed since the last report? We continue receiving non-committer contributions, albeit at a slightly slower pace than last quarter, as that had a boost due to STA funding. The current pace is more in line with pre-ASF project momentum. Candidates for committership are emerging and we’ll start those processes when appropriate. ### How has the project developed since the last report? - Added major features in preparation for a new feature release. - Revamped the website onto a modern website toolkit and migrating towards ASF-policy-friendly hosting with additional major docs feature of versioning nearly ready for shipping. - h/t to ASF infra for helping move this forward - Started roadmap discussions for next few releases as we have to deprecate some legacy parts of PouchDB while making sure all users have a smooth migration path. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Making a release
2. Adding contributors
3. Finish infrastructure migration (currently working on the website)
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
After delays last year and the promise to keep project momentum up, this
has been the case.
### How has the community developed since the last report?
- We have added a new committer and PPMC member.
- Work continues on a first release
### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have migrated our website tech to a more modern platform that can
make use of the ASF website hosting infrastructure. Final steps are
taken at the moment of writing.
We also have received multiple external contributions from people
previously not affiliated with the project at a volume and quality
that exceeds the usual pace.
Finally, we have formalised our stance on LLM-generated code.

Adding contributors ### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? After a good start in Q2, the project was stalled in Q3 and first month of Q4 because of champion unavailability. The champion (me, jan@) had communicated to the rest of the incubating PPMC to clear out everything needed for the initial code import and then had to step away for personal reasons. Those have resolved now, the code is now in ASF territory and we are doing the initial adjustments (file headers etc) as we speak and the following tasks are starting to be distributed among the rest of the team, so a single-person bottleneck should not hold the project back. ### How has the community developed since the last report? No noticeable changes yet, but some external contribution activity has occurred. ### How has the project developed since the last report? After clearing all hurdles with importing a 15 year old code base, we have the sources finally under ASF control. We are aiming to get to be in an ASF-releasable state in a few weeks. ### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

No Podling Suitable Names Search done yet and that could cause issues if name is rejected. - [X] (pouchdb) Jean-Baptiste Onofré Comments: Slow start in the podling, but now it seems to move forward. If the podling doesn't have time to report this month, maybe report next month ? ### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
