The incubating Apache DataFu community believes it is time to graduate to TLP. Apache DataFu entered incubation in January 2014. Since then there have been three releases and four committers have been added to the project. For each release, source and binary artifacts have been made available. Based on the completed maturity evaluation we believe that the project is ready to graduate from the incubator.
To inform the discussion, here is some basic project information:

- Project Website: http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/
- Maturity Evaluation: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Maturity+Evaluation
