Agila was retired this quarter with only the retirement of the mailing lists outstanding (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1056). ----
The interest around the BPEL implementation in Agila has mostly moved to Ode and the workflow part isn't evolving so declaring the project as dormant sounds fair enough.
Project is moving along with an interested core continuing to work on the software. Progress is still slow in terms of community building. Recent additions to the incubator in areas of SOA such as Tuscany, ServiceMix, Celtix etc offer an opportunity for Agila's workflow and BPEL implementations.
* Moving very slowly, I hope to inject some activity in the upcoming
months.
* No new recent committers
Agila has been moving slowly, but there is clear interest with the addition of the Twister project, a pure BPEL engine, and the addition of a new Agila committer, Chris Lim. There are other individuals we are looking at. At ApacheCon EU, we were approached by another workflow engine that would consider coming to the project. As our goal is to build a strong workflow/BPM community, this was welcomed and I look forward to some follow-up It's clear I need to dedicate some additional time to Agila, both in code and community.
Agila is going slower than hoped for various reasons, but recent addition of the BPEL engine Twister should help. Matthieu Riou is bringing Twister, and we hope this can rekindle spark and interest in the combined project.
