### IPMC/Shepherd notes:
 Dave Fisher: I see no relevant email from the dev team on dev@ or private@
   since March. There is activity on commits@ from git activity which means
   work is being done. I think that there should be discussion about the
   trademark issues on private@ along with a Podling Suitable Name Search.

Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
 1. A clear roadmap and corresponding project management, which should all
 be public and transparent to the community
 2. Committers & PPMC members should be more activate and response in time
 when dealing with Email, Github Issue/Pull request
 3. More activate committers & PPMC members outside Alibaba Group.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
 The development of Weex is based on the Weex Github Repo, but none of the
 PPMC members have maintainer or administration privilege on the
 repo (https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex), which makes it time
 costing or impossible to add Webhook、PR Review Rules, etc. as INFRA member
 might response to a JIRA issue several days or weeks later.

How has the community developed since the last report?
 New Committer: Qianyuan Wang(wqyfavor) and Douma Fang
 75 Github issues solved/closed since last report, 56 issues still open.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Weex is a framework for building high-performance mobile apps with modern
web development experience.

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Propose more open discussions in the mailing list, improve the
 activity.
 2. Establish a regular release schedule and a clear roadmap.
 3. Develop more committers and PPMCs, stay focused on the community.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

 Apologize for missing the last podling report.

 The main reason for it is the PPMC and committers does not pay enough
 attention in the mailing list. We have realized this mistake and decide
 to take more efforts on building the community.

 Here are some actions:
 1. Hold meetings regularly among core contributors of Weex and publish
 the summary to the mailing list.
 2. Take turns on duty for each release and podling reports.

How has the community developed since the last report?
 * Released a new version (v0.19.0) of Weex.
 https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3e7bfe9e3f79a8d4b46dbe668bfb559e4e539
bd7c5f4143107e6af00@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E
 * Hold a meetup in Shanghai at 2018-09-15, discussed technologies about
 the new render pipeline and interactive experience of Weex.
 * Migrate the source code from (git-wip-us.apache.org) to
 (gitbox.apache.org) and enabled the issue panel on the GitHub.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 * In average, more than 10 PRs or commits were merged to the main branch
 each week. The Github repository now has 162 contributors (8 new since
 the last report) and 1451 forks (130 new).
 * Weex has developed a new render pipeline and used it in production, but
 it still needs more improvement.
 * A more CSS-friendly Weex Renderer is under discussing, it can fix many
 cross-platform inconsistency problems.

The community is still learning the Apache Way,  we are making progress and
need more guidance from Mentors. An additional active Mentor would be good.

How has the community developed since the last report?

• We voted one new committer: wentao shi
• We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing list.
 There is an obvious growth. 186(110 new issues since the last report) issues
 have been reported on JIRA, and 93(56 since the last report) of them are
 resolved or closed. And for dev@ mailing list,  more discussions were made
 in the past quarter.  Some of the discussions are about important decisions
 such as Community building roadmaps, whether to use Github issues, how to
 develop plugins conveniently, how to replace Facebook/Yoga, whether to
 create a project channel, etc. More and more non-alibaba and non-Chinese
 guys were participating in the discussions.
• More non-alibaba developers are using Weex and reporting issues, including
 developers from Tencent, Geekbang, SNDA, etc.
• Our Github repo has growth in contributors (135), forks (974), watchers
 (377) and stars (7108)
• WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(440482), UV(68347), IP(59082), New Unique
 Visitor(36063) , Session(114824)


How has the project developed since the last report?

• We have seperated the code for ducumentation & website from main repo to
 weex-incubator-site, which will be easier to contribute.
• 9 authors have pushed 36 commits to master and 36 commits to all branches.
 The community are intentionally making the committing work more slow and
 deliberate.
• Replacing Facebook's Yoga is nearly done.

Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high-performance UI.

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Move the whole workflow and infra into Apache (not the codebase only).
2. Develop more contributors and committers.
3. More releases while in Incubator.
4. Improve the developer's activity in JIRA and mailing list.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

No.

How has the community developed since the last report?

• We voted two new committers: gurisxie, Hanks
• Our Github has growth contributors (131), forks (760), watchers (296)
and stars (5522)
• We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev mailing
list. Up to now, 76 issues have been reported on JIRA and 37 of them are
resolved or closed.
• WebSite Trends Month Active, PV(393698), UV(64096), IP(53712), New
Unique Visitor(36155) , Session(103184)

How has the project developed since the last report?

• 21 authors have pushed 284 commits to master and 285 commits to all branches since last month.
• We are replacing Facebook's Yoga with Google's FlexboxLayout for our layout system.
• Several new features including  pseudo-class,  box-shadow in Android,
3d rotate were proposed and developed under review.

    Comments: The community still learning the Apache Way. Also we have to work on the diversity.
    But we make progress. An additional active Mentor would be good.

Weex is a framework for building Mobile cross-platform high performance UI.

Weex has been incubating since 2016-11-30.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

 1. Move the whole workflow and infra into Apache (not the codebase only).
 2. Develop more contributors and committers.
 3. First Release while in Incubator.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

 We are worried that only 1 mentor is actively helping us, as this will put
 more burden on the rest of the Incubator to approve our releases.
 Especially, most of active committers are not good at dealing with
 license-related problem.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 * We voted in 3 new committer:TianYi Ma, Tancy and HaiBo Song.
 * There are 90+ new forks and 700+ new stars since last report.
 * We have encouraged people to discuss more in the JIRA and dev
    mail list. Up to now, 30 issues are reported on JIRA and 25 of them
     are resovled.
 * We have redirect github's mails to the commits mail list to have a
     clear overview of our activity  in the dev mail list.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 * We are trying to release 0.12 this month. Both two RCs were failed due
   to the license issue. This is major issue of project.

    Comments: Technical development and sheer momentum is still very high,
    and no concerns in that area. The move of GitHUb notifications to
    commits@ makes dev@ a more pleasant space. But I still have concerns that
    a lot of discussions of what to do happens in office or other channels.

    Comments: The Shepherd's comments fully resonate with how I feel. The
    progress in 'getting it' is slow, and I have also asked privately how
    people know what to work on, as I suspect that this is happening at
    work, conf calls, or other means. I have been considering asking the
    IPMC to put the code repository in read-only to get people to wake up.
    There is a release attempt going on right now, and that has triggered a
    little bit more open communications, but it is far from acceptable. Dev
    work is remarkably strong, but community development is weak, which I
    see as signs of a corporate-driven project.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:

 ptgoetz: The Weex community has shown some friction against adopting the
          Apache Way. Luckily there is one highly engaged mentor very actively
          nudging the community in the right direction. My concern is that
          other mentors have not engaged (no sign-offs to date), and if the
          primary mentor disappears for any length of time it could pose a
          problem. I'd like to see at least one more engaged mentor for a
          podling trying to develop its initial Apache "sea legs."

 johndament: The amount of private list email vs dev list email is a bit
             concerning.  Niclas has been doing a great job helping the
             podling move along, but without major changes I suspect
             it will be difficult for them to progress forward.

    Comments:

      The project from a technical point of view is doing well. I am trying
      to get the participants really grok TheApacheWay, as there is still too
      much "corporate think" in the project, and things are done seemingly
      randomly. The GitHub workflow is also something that I worry about,
      since it makes the mailing list look like a commit log and not really a
      community discussion forum. There is some who listens and trying to get
      their colleagues to understand. This doesn't seem to be a language
      (Chinese) issue as much as a GitHub culture issue. These guys love
      GitHub issues and pull requests. But I am hopeful we will get there.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since our Apache code repository haven’t been setup, the project have not

 are ongoing. Several bugs have been fixed and some new features have been
 added (detail of information [2]). We will migrate code to Apache repo as
 soon as possible.

 Niclas Hedhman:

   The development on the previous GitHub project is progressing at high
   speed. But we have an understanding that moving to ASF repos is of the
   highest importance for the next month.
