IIRC, the June report focused more on development issues than on community/graduation issues, and it is the latter that the incubator PMC and board are interested in,
Regarding releases, we can release now. Call it alpha-0.0.1. The point of releasing is twofold: to show that all licensing issues have been resolved (reviews undertaken by yourselves and incubator PMC before artifacts are released) and to draw in new developers. Folks like. Having a concrete baseline to work against. Also, two open source maxims to consider: release early, release often. This encourages us to get our stuff out there early, we'll get better feedback that way. Another one I like is "great ideas and bad code builds community". That is, when developers see incomplete code, their response is often to help if x it. Showing folks the current state of wave code, flaws and all, might actually have the eft of bringing more people to the project. We're I to write a report, it would be something like: "One new committee added. Discussions (somewhat stalled) on additional committers. The next major milestone regarding graduation is to make a release. The current codebase is not considered mature enough for a useful release, however, the community is discussing what is required to make one, both to better understand the licensing status of our codebase, and as a means to draw in additional developers and thus speed up development."
