## Annotator
Annotator provides annotation enabling code for browsers, servers, and
humans.
Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Incubation issues identified by Whimsy still need addressing.
2. Project activity is very low.
3. Release activity is very low.
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The project and community has remained quiet through 2023. We are attempting again to revitalize the community by...
a) simplifying build tooling--both for making releases and for use within other projects
b) communicating and coordinating future planning on the mailing list with other contributors (who we hope will "reactivate")
c) working to move the project closer to the needs of higher level Web developers who need "drop-in" annotation help (vs. our current low level "advanced" library only)
### How has the community developed since the last report?
Minimal activity on the mailing list.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
No code since last board report.
### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
