## 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. Apache Annotator is unable to produce releases due to low activity
  2. PMC is largely inactive
  3. Motivation to contribute is low due to inability of producing enough release votes

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

See above. Unless there is interest by new people to join the project and help getting out releases, IMHO it would make more sense to retire the podling, fork it and release it without the three-vote hurdle. We continue to seek advice on this topic.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
 
The community has not grown.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

Yarn has been dropped from the project in favor of npm. Since then, a number of dependabot issues have piled up.

There have been a few mails regarding potentially adding support for the [Highlight API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Highlight) instead of using `mark` elements (while keeking the elements as a fallback).

There is wider community interest growing around the Web Annotation specifications again driven by new W3C Web Publishing work rechartering and the Readium groups "profiling down" of the [Web Annotation Data Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/) specification for reading platforms (many of which are DOM based and could benefit from Apache Annotator code):
https://github.com/readium/annotations

One key thing the community could work toward is building the code to ingest a full Web Annotation, AnnotationCollection, and/or AnnotationPage and use the existing selection code to anchor these annotations. The demo we have now gets pretty close, but developers seem to not be finding their way there.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  - [x] Initial setup
  - [x] Working towards first release
  - [ ] Community building - we missed several golden opportunities for community growth due to the timing of joining the incubator after the "hype cycle" at the W3C and I Annotate conference hay days. We _may_ have a new opportunity here with the rechartering and new exploration around DOM-based EPUB readers...but we'll need more active contributors to take advantage of the opportunity.
  - [ ] Nearing graduation

### Date of last release:

  2021-07-14 (0.2.0)

We tried to get out a 0.3.0 in May 2022, but it got stuck in the vote.

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

@reckart was the last one to join in August 2022 (waving the flag).


### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?
@BigBlueHat has prepared the last incubator report for this project and has provided some guidance. 


### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Are 3rd parties respecting and correctly using the podlings
name and brand? If not what actions has the PPMC taken to
correct this? Has the VP, Brand approved the project name?

I don't know.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:

There are currently 32 podlings incubating. In September, podlings executed eight distinct releases, and one IP clearance occurred. Several incubating proposals have been discussed on the mailing list, and we have one new podling who will join the incubator called CloudBerry. No podling graduated or retired last month. No one retired or joined the IPMC. Several podlings failed to report and will be asked to report next month. There was a discussion about making votes easier to understand by specifying the voter name and roles more clearly, and this has been adopted. Most of the other discussions were on releases or new incubating projects. The Community over Code conference was held in Denver. It included an incubating track with several talks on incubating projects and the incubator itself.

  platforms (many of which are DOM based and could benefit from Apache 
  Annotator code):
  https://github.com/readium/annotations

  One key thing the community could work toward is building the code to 
  ingest a full Web Annotation, AnnotationCollection, and/or AnnotationPage 
  and use the existing selection code to anchor these annotations. The demo 
  we have now gets pretty close, but developers seem to not be finding their 
  way there.

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?
  Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  - [X] Initial setup
  - [X] Working towards first release
  - [ ] Community building - we missed several golden opportunities for 
  community growth due to the timing of joining the incubator after the "hype 
  cycle" at the W3C and I Annotate conference hay days. We _may_ have a new 
  opportunity here with the rechartering and new exploration around DOM-based 
  EPUB readers...but we'll need more active contributors to take advantage of 
  the opportunity.

## StormCrawler

StormCrawler is a collection of resources for building low-latency,
customisable and scalable web crawlers on Apache Storm.

StormCrawler has been incubating since 2024-03-19.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Community Building
  2.
  3.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

No

### How has the community developed since the last report?

A contributor in the area of SOLR showed up and provided PRs, which is a good sign, that people actually start to use StormCrawler.
He has since become a committer and PPMC member on the project (see below).

### How has the project developed since the last report? 

A slight source of concern is that 3 out of the initial 5 committers have so far shown no or very little involvement in the project 
since its incubation, which makes it even more urgent to increase the committer base.

However, we have added a new committer and PPMC member, so we hope, that we can get some more involvement in the next months.

### IPMC/Shepherd notes:



--------------------
## Wayang

Wayang is a cross-platform data processing system that aims at decoupling
the business logic of data analytics applications from concrete data
processing platforms, such as Apache Flink or Apache Spark. Hence, it tames
the complexity that arises from the "Cambrian explosion" of novel data
processing platforms that we currently witness.

Wayang has been incubating since 2020-12-16.

## Toree

Toree provides applications with a mechanism to interactively and remotely
access Apache Spark.

Toree has been incubating since 2015-12-02.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Increase active contributors

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
   None

### How has the community developed since the last report?
   The community saw a boost in activity working on the
   bringup of support for Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13 which
   culminate in a new committer, but after that it went back to
   regular activity flow of a stable/mature project.

   We still see much of the users asking questions in the gitter channel
   rather than using the mailing lists.

   The discussion around retirement process was stopped with the boost in
   community activity.

   The Apache Toree project recently had two presentations at the
   European Community over Code conference, drawing a good audience. The 
   attendees showed great interest, posing several questions. This indicates
   the community should look into opportunities for us to further promote
   awareness of the project. 

### How has the project developed since the last report?
   Most of the remaining tasks related to Apache Spark 3.3 and Scala 2.13 
   are completed and comunity should start planning next release.
