#Draft Board Reports
Like every top level project at The Apache Software Foundation, Apache Creadur regularly reports to the board. Quarterly reports are due in February, May, August and November, together with monthly reports immediately after graduation.
The final, official board reports are submitted by the Apache Creadur PMC Chair and are recorded in the board minutes. To help a wider community develop their content, this page contains drafts of these reports.
## August 2012 (Draft)
Just a draft: see the board minutes for the canonical version.
Status report for the Apache Creadur project - AUGUST 2012
Apache Creadur creates and maintains a suite of open source
software related to the auditing and comprehension of
software distributions. Any language and build system are
welcomed.
Project Status
--------------
Creadur graduated from the Apache Incubator in April, 2012.
Except for tasks performed after the first release as a top
level project, handover is now complete.
Issues
------
We have no issues requiring board attention at the moment.
Branding and Trademarks
-----------------------
ApacheCon banners added.
Community
---------
Improved documentation to help explain our products to a
wider audience. A quiet month on the mailing lists.
We welcomed Philipp Ottlinger as a new committer.
Infrastructure
--------------
Still yet to discover a good way to maintain our mix
of hand and generated contents in Apache CMS.
Releases
--------
None (yet). The last release happened while the project was
incubating: RAT 0.8 released in November 2011.
We hope to cut the first release of Apache Whisker very
soon.
Community Objectives
--------------------
* Release Apache Whisker 0.1
* Continue to improve documentation

Interest seems to be slowly building, which is encouraging.

a mix of subsites generated by and hand maintained content
in Apache CMS. Thanks to Infrastructure for their help
and advice.

Apache Creadur creates and maintains a suite of open source
software related to the auditing and comprehension of
software distributions. Any language and build system are
welcomed.
Project Status
--------------
Creadur graduated from the Apache Incubator in April, 2012.
The handover has been very slow going, but is very nearly
complete. Thanks to the infrastructure team for their help.
Handover
--------
Complete:
* New Chair tasks (subscriptions, update officers, etc)
* Reporting schedule
* PMC bootstrap tasks
* Transfer source
* Transfer mailing lists
* Update issue tracker
* Infra tasks
* Transfer website
* Update incubator records
Pending Next Release (as per guidelines)
* Distribution mirrors
Community
---------
* Creadur needs to rebuild momentum and to attract new
contributors. Our first steps will be website
improvements and the first release of Apache Whisker
(see below).
Infrastructure
--------------
* Thanks to the infra team for a smooth handover
* Our website uses the CMS, and is ready for svnsubpub. The
community is still discussing the best approach towards
maintaining content generated by Maven.
Releases
--------
None (yet). The last release happened while the project was
incubating: RAT 0.8 released in November 2011.
We hope to cut the first release of Apache Whisker very
soon. This tool generates and audits licensing information
from meta-data. Helpful for applications assembled from 100s
of components, such as Apache James Server.
Branding and Trademarks
-----------------------
Currently our website doesn't conform to all requirements.
In particular the product subsites need more work.
Community Objectives
--------------------
* Improve impact and visibility of site, and bring the site fully
into line with the branding guidelines
* Release Apache Whisker 0.1
