A large-scale and easy-to-use graph database
HugeGraph has been incubating since 2022-01-23.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Release distributed storage module (include PD/store) & make graph
computer easy to use
2. Unified different modules version & introduce a new Graph Dashboard &
LLM/AI system (GraphRAG/Agent)
3. At least 2 new PPMC & 5 committers selected and take deep part in the
community
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
Some PPMC members are inactive for a while, an adjustment may be required
before graduation
### How has the community developed since the last report?
1. Finished 4+ tasks in OSPP & GSoC (Open Source Activity)
2. 10+ new contributors take part in the community (with PR/code)
3. After the release of the new distributed version(this month), the
system's completeness will significantly increase, and the community will
quickly enter the stage of graduation
### How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Introduce some new features: include memory management & distributed
cluster test modules etc.
2. Merge/unify hugegraph-commons module into the main/core repo (to
enhance the dev/release process)
3. The most important/major change (distributed storage system PD & Store
has already done, waiting for the release soon)
4. The new graph dashboard/UI & graph computing system are also on the
way (should be done in next release)

This is the first report.
We have completed the SGA signing, now we are discussing the trademark
donation, and are going through the approval process.
The donated 5 repositories have been migrated from hugegraph org to apache
org, 7 committers have completed the github account association, they are
granted codebase write permissions, 5 of them have been initialized as PPMC
members.
We solved a series of ci workflow problems for repositories migration. The
official website is currently under construction.
The next step is to make an official announcement, and prepare for the
release version.
