As I've understood the situation: - Code was open sourced at apache to become the CMDA project - Some commits happened against a repo, from what I can tell building a basic skeleton of a webapp for collecting data - Commits stopped in November 2015 - There has been very little on list discussions, no code changes coming in. - I brought up the topic of retirement last summer, due to the lack of progress (at that point, we were ~7 months in to stagnation). Project agreed to resume on list work, ASF based commits - ~6 months later, brought up the topic again, it was clear no changes were coming.
If you take a look at [1] you'll see that Chris has called out specifically that development of CMDA happens, just not at Apache, which is the part that shouldn't be the case. Changes shouldn't be sync'd back to ASF. They should be developed first at ASF. Its OK to create non-open source derivatives of ASF products.
