Corinthia is a toolkit/application for converting between and editing common office file formats, with an initial focus on word processing. It is designed to cater for multiple classes of platforms - desktop, web, and mobile - and relies heavily on web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for representing and manipulating documents. The toolkit is small, portable, and flexible, with minimal dependencies. The target audience is developers wishing to include office viewing, conversion, and editing functionality into their applications. Corinthia has been incubating since 2014-12-08. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: [none] The IPMC Vote to retire Corinthia was approved on 2015-11-19 Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? [none] How has the community developed since the last report? The community effectively disbanded by withdrawal of the primary developers on 2015-09-05. The community crisis mentioned on the 2015-09-02 report was not resolved. How has the project developed since the last report? Development ceased at the time of the last report.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Solve the community crisis and avoid a break 2. 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The community is experiencing a major breakdown. The mentors have accessed the situation including several attempts to stop the breakdown without success. IPMC have been informed with a suggestion which are being considered. It is to be expected that several core developers will leave the project in a very short term unless a solution is found. How has the community developed since the last report? We are proud that we have managed to make our first release. How has the project developed since the last report? Added support for 32/64bit windows. Made the setup of a build environment a lot easier, a PPMC provide all third party libraries prebuilt. A long discussion about licenses lead to major difficulties in deciding whether and how to proceed with one of the project’s two main components, an end-user editing app. As a result this development is being redirected. Our buildbot setup is slowly taking shape, this is important since it will allow a nightly build as well as a nightly test.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Discuss and decide on a medium-term roadmap 2. Finalize source structure change (easy access for new developers) 3. Get the first release out Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? Discussion are now taking place between more people, signalling that the knowledge on the code base is being distributed. The period has in general been a bit quit, where people have developed more than discussing. How has the project developed since the last report? The ODF filter is well underway. The 64bit windows version is going through the last round of polishing. The Qt edtitor interface is starting to take shape.

Ament (johndament): Still a new podling, growing pretty well though. Small number of participants that may need further growth to be viable long term.

Grow the community Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? none How has the community developed since the last report? This is our first podling report. We have spend a lot of mail on getting acquainted and finding the strength of each other. Now discussion are flowing freely. We have consensus on PPMC == Committer as long as we are in incubator. How has the project developed since the last report? This is our first podling report. We are at work making a stable kernel so we can more easily add more developers.
