Adding ODF Toolkit report

  =

  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  =

-   1.
-   2.
-   3.
+   1. Get companies backing up the project as part of a commercial story, =
to
+      get a long-term momentum
+   2. Do recurrent releases - some semi-automation would be helpful - for =
the
+      3rd party users
  =

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

+   How do we get people to test our release on the incubation list?
  =

+   A general issue of the project is that it 'just' a toolkit of an office
+   file format, which in addition is far from leading the business market,
+   so likely never being used by the mass market - a very niche product.
  =

- How has the community developed since the last report?
+   Still, the toolkit seems to be working well for most common use cases, =
but
+   is repeatedly updated by developers on changes of the ODF, like Red Hat
+   developers enhancing the ODF validator as part of LibreOffice regression
+   tests (e.g. out-of-the-box running on http://odf-validator.rhcloud.com/)
+   most often quite ahead of one of the international ODF Plugfests -
+   http://odfplugfest.org/2016-paris/programme/. =

  =

+   Since there are still some game-changing features in the pipeline (e.g.
+   collaboration) which are expected to strengthen the acceptance and deve=
lop
+   the community but on the other hand the mentorship/infrastructure of the
+   project could be better, a decision needs to be made in the future.

+ How has the community developed since the last report?

ist.

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