Ambari's code base isn't functional yet and until it is and it is difficult to build a community until a version works. All of the contributors are employed by Hortonworks, which exposes the project to the whims of the company's priorities. There's a new code base that has been checked in on a branch that is close to working. Once there is a working version, I hope that community will build. > *As Ambari went nearly 2 months without a single e-mail to the list, I > think an issue for graduation should be added that the community must > demonstrate viability for X more reporting periods (where x IMO is > 2). I agree that Ambari is no where close to graduation and was close to being dead. I hope the new code base will revitalize it. > * The list of completed JIRA issues is not very telling of anything and > might give the impression that the community is more vibrant than it is It was very active for September to January.
