Ripple

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.

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

The community recently discussed the lack of growth in the project.
Some members felt that retirement of the podling was appropriate.
Others have stepped up to take over essential tasks and attempt to
build a community. We have agreed with mentors to review this situation
in 6 months. It is possible that Ripple is no longer important as its
functionality is potential being replaced by Cordova-browser.  Our
original champion, Ross Gardler has also up to help evaluate the
situation.  For Cordova-browser idea, there was also a discussion on
the mailing list.

How has the community developed since the last report?
No new committers since last June 2014.

No release made as yet, this will be the first item to receive attention.

The overall decision of what to do with Ripple as an ASF project, and
whether it can become a sub-project of Cordova is still under discussion.

Additionally, there are discussion threads proposing how to more tightly
integrate and use Ripple within Cordova.

2014-05-21 — in the Incubator's report

At the moment the project is discussing its future. So far
almost no community could be grown and it is being discussed
if the project should become a sub-project of Apache Cordova.

The pros of this solution would be:

 - Cordova is a consumer of Ripple
 - Cordova is an active project and has a functional PMC

One con of this solution is that Cordova cannot guarantee
the success of the project. Also, the current Ripple code base
cannot be released, as there are some things to sort out (from
legal perspective, like the images cannot be redistributed).

Both communities have discussed this option and also the option
to move to GitHub. So far no agreement could be reached.

  2. Increase the ripple community @ apache.

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

We are still working internally to be able to contribute the Ripple code to
ASF Looks like we might have to strip out all of the trademarks from the
project for the initial commit under the SGA, we will then commit them back
as a normal contribution under ASL2.0.

How has the community developed since the last report?

The community continues to grow slowly with some more community
contributions seen in the project's current home. We expect the community
to build up once the project is fully transitioned to the ASF.

Also some discussion and bugs are happening in the apache community.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Very little change here.

- Even though the code is not in ASF yet, we have seen active contributions
from several members of the Cordova project in Ripple. Most notable
contributions are described at

Little progress on the ASF contribution part, waiting for ASF legal
approval.
