Do you have an idea what happened around a year ago when dev@ activity dropped from the hundreds it was for a long time to the dozens where it's mostly stayed since then? Alarmingly the low mark seems to have been last month when only a single non-automated post was sent to dev@. I recall Clerezza having release trouble due to complex/unreleased dependencies for a long time. Could that have contributed to the loss of momentum? I think it would be useful to somehow capture experience like this, perhaps ultimately for use by ComDev in something like a "How to maintain community momentum?" guide. Anyway, it sounds like the community has a reasonably good idea on how to proceed, so I'm not too worried yet even though Clerezza is already getting pretty close to its three-year mark at the Incubator. Though I'd really love to see Clerezza showing notable improvement or even graduating before that milestone is reached. If the efforts to grow or reactivate the community fail, would it be a good idea to seek to join forces with some related projects like Stanbol, Any23 or UIMA? Or do you feel that there are still enough active people to allow the project to function as a standalone TLP (able to reach 3 PMC votes for releases, etc.)?
