Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

Incubation issues identified by Whimsy still need addressing.
Project activity is very low.
Release activity is very low.

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

The project has struggled to make a third release. The last attempt ran into issues with voting and testing. Since then, the project has added new member to the PPMC, which may help with getting releases moving.

How has the community developed since the last report?

The community continues to have low, but not zero, activity on its mailing list and its issue tracker, with some new folks expressing interest in getting involved in passing.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Not much has happened since the last report, owing partially to the project's low level of activity and to holiday season.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?

Comments: The first release was a major achievement. I have asked them to make another release, with a different release manager, to prove that the process is reproducible, and to remove release exceptions in the WIP-DISCLAIMER. Also, there are several components, and not all have so far had a release.) After that release, SDAP is ready to graduate.
