That's a pretty long time without releases or new committers. Also, the low activity level for two consecutive quarters [1] is alarming. You mention some ideas on how to get more people actively involved, but if they fail we may need to start looking at alternatives to graduation to a TLP. > + We are still short on mentors, and would appreciate any volunteers! Anyone interested? NPanday looks like a project with a potential for a large base of users and contributors, but only if it re-reaches the critical mass needed to sustain continuous improvement. One or two more mentors working as community catalysts might do wonders here.
