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 Wookie develops software related to implementation of the W3C Widgets family of specifications. ISSUES As mentioned in previous reports, activity in the project has declined and is now at a minimum with some questions from users and implementers but little on the development side and also the community has not grown since 2013. The reasons for this remain the same, in particular the lack of non-proprietary adoption of the W3C widget specification. As a result we are currently holding a vote to move Wookie to the Attic. RELEASES Wookie 1.0 was released on 24th February 2014. ACTIVITY None recently. COMMUNITY Our last committer and PMC member added was Steve Lee on 21st February 2013.

FUTURE Having said that, there have been some new use cases suggested in the community which have lead to development discussions on the part of the primary team. One use case suggestion has been to develop a github link allowing widgets to be directly imported from github thus facilitating an easy mechanism to develop and deploy widgets outside of the wookie tree.

Apache Wookie develops software related to implementation of the W3C Widgets family of specifications. ISSUES As mentioned in July’s report, activity in the project has declined dramatically and the community has not grown in the last year or so. This trend has continued, though this might have been exacerbated by the summer period where there is less activity anyway. The reasons for this remain the same, in particular the lack of non-proprietary adoption of the W3C widget specification. If this trend continues the team will give consideration to either moving the project to the attic or subsuming it into RAVE. RELEASES Wookie 1.0 was released on 24th February 2014.

Apache Wookie develops software related to implementation of the W3C Widgets family of specifications. ISSUES We haven't really grown our community over the past year, and overall activity is slowing to a trickle. Partly this is because of problems with the W3C specification getting wider adoption as the major browser vendors have all continued to produce competing formats. Looking forward we may want to consider options including moving Wookie to the Attic or moving the project to become a sub-project of Rave if the level of activity continues to decline. RELEASES Wookie 1.0 was released on 24th February 2014. ACTIVITY Since April we've been working on Wookie 2.0, which is aimed at making Wookie more modular and easier to integrate into Apache Rave and other platforms.

RELEASES No new releases since last report; another release (0.15) is due later this month. ACTIVITY This has been a fairly quiet period for the project; we've handled user enquiries and had a small number of new bug reports. We've also re-organised the code structure using the standard Maven folder layout to make it easier to understand for newcomers. We tagged several issues for GSoC but sadly received no applications this year. Our last release was 0.14 on 9th April. Our last committer added was Steve Lee on 21st February.

The proposal to graduate Wookie as a TLP was sent to board@apache.org on
31/10/2012 to be resolved at the next meeting.
- Stalled Release
On 22 August we created the build artifacts for version 0.12.0-incubating,
in accordance with our monthly release schedule. During the VOTE process
a question was raised on the subject of the inclusion of Apache Santuario
XMLSec in wookie.
See: http://incubator.markmail.org/search/?q=wookie-dev#query:wookie-dev%20list%3Aorg.apache.incubator.wookie-dev%20date%3A201208%20+page:1+mid:hgxuhglq5pmwbs4f+state:results
It was decided to ask/consult apache legal. At present there has been no
answer on this matter and therefore the wookie release cycle is stalled.
We urgently require guidance on this matter, so we can resolve this build
and consequently resume our release cycle.

Wookie is a Java server application that allows you to upload and deploy widgets for your applications. Wookie is based on the W3C Widgets specification, but widgets can also be included that use extended APIs such as Google Wave Gadgets and OpenSocial. Wookie has been incubating since 17th July 2009. Progress since May 2012: - Implemented new release schedule (aligned with Apache Rave) - Two new releases - 0.10.0 (24th May) - 0.11.0 (22nd June) - Started graduation process Next steps: - 0.12.0 release - Complete graduation process Issues before graduation: - none Details: In our last report we identified a task to increase the frequency of releases to help community development, and this has now been achieved. We also indicated that we were ready to graduate from incubation. Since then we have held a vote on the wookie-dev list to nominate the PMC chair. Scott Wilson was the person voted as proposed chair (receiving 6 +1s, with no other votes) A JIRA issue has been created (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-348) for the graduation process, which includes references to wookies charter.

Progress since February 2012: - 0.9.2 release - Hoang Minh Tien added as Committer - Matt Franklin added as Mentor - Improved release documentation - GSoC student project Next steps: - implement new release schedule (aligned with Apache Rave) - 0.10.0 release using new release process - start graduation process after release - ASF Widgets demo Issues before graduation: - none Details: In our last report we identified our target for this period was to identify ways to improve the diversity of the Wookie community. Since our last report we added a new committer (Tien) and we are now diverse enough to graduate (6 committers from 4 organisations), although we are still a small community. We feel that graduation of the project will also help attract new contributors, and we will seek approval to graduate during the next quarter, after the 0.10 release which is imminent. As well as graduation, we have agreed that having more frequent scheduled releases, coordinated with Apache Rave may also help with community development. Matt Franklin has joined Wookie as a mentor and is active in helping with this process. We've also created a lot of detailed documentation on the release process and are encouraging more committers take a turn at being release manager to both test the documentation and to spread the experience of doing this more widely. Our first release under the new schedule will be 15th May. Another approach we're (still) looking at is how we can use Wookie to deploy widgets that relate to ASF processes and activities as a way of raising awareness and interest; we've done some experiments with Widgets using the Jira API as a starting point for a demonstrator and we may want to explore this further. We also have a GSoC student project with Wookie this year. Signed off by mentor: rgardler, mfranklin, ate
Wookie is a Java server application that allows you to upload and deploy widgets for your applications. Wookie is based on the W3C Widgets specification, but widgets can also be included that use extended APIs such as Google Wave Gadgets and OpenSocial. Wookie has been incubating since 17th July 2009 Wookie has a small, reasonably active community, however, the majority of that activity is focussed around one or two individuals. The main issue we would like to address before graduation is to ensure we have more diversity in our community. However, as it stands we could probably graduate as we meet the minimum criteria (5 committers from 3 organisations). We recognise that some IPMC members would suggest graduation at this point might help accelerate community growth. We intend to discuss this within the community over the next quarter whilst also seeking to expand our community. One strategy for this is to reach out to projects and teams already using Wookie and encourage their developers to contribute back to the community. We know several projects (both in commercial and academic sectors) that have been conducting R&D activity using Wookie and we want to make sure we can bring in both contributions from these projects and also welcome their developers into our community. However we feel that Wookie will only really become fully sustainable when there is more uptake of the W3C Widgets/Native Web Applications specifications into "real" systems and products. On this front we're active and visible in W3C, along with PhoneGap/Apache Cordova (incubating) who also support W3C Widgets (the W3C Native Web Apps Community have a co-chair who is a Wookie committer and another who is a Cordova committer). Another strategy has been to support integration in Apache Rave (currently preparing to graduate) as this is a way to build our user base (and is also a great way to demo Wookie). Another approach we're looking at is how we can use Wookie to deploy widgets that relate to ASF processes and activities as a way of raising awareness and interest; we've done some experiments with Widgets using the Jira API as a starting point for a demonstrator. In any case, we can certainly do more to promote Wookie and generate interest. Since November 2011: - 0.9.1 release - Received updated patch for oAuth support from community member - Received documentation contribution for packaging Wookie as a portable app on a USB stick Next steps: - 0.9.2 release using an improved and simplified release process - Developer outreach activity (see above) - Improve communication about Wookie - ASF Widgets demo Issues before graduation: - build community/expand user base Signed off by mentor: rgardler, ate
