This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general
project status, look on the project website.
The Directory Project is an attempt to centralize all naming and
directory needs in one place at the ASF. This incubator project is
language independent with the current components:
- Apache Directory Server: an embeddable LDAP server written in Java
- Kerberos: a Kerberos server 'module' for the directory server
- Networking: a combination of networking code based on SEDA and ACE
- LDAP: common client and server code for LDAP
- AuthX: Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Framework
- Naming: set of core functionality common to all JNDI providers
- ASN1: Codecs for ASN.1
- ApacheDS 0.8 and Naming 0.8 Released!
- Kerberos server plugin added using common ASN.1 basis and snapping
into the directory server's network layer
- More committers on board, Trustin, Enrique, and Berin
- Community is growing very rapidly with a good user community
following especially after the 0.8 releases
- All IP issues vetted in code base
- All trademark issues with project names resolved
- Voting for Incubator Exit

Add project specific tasks here.
These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation
process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they
may change during incubation.
They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and
completed in the request for incubation signoff.
- Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and
acknowledged as committers on the project?
- Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition
of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there
is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared
employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as
individuals, directly or indirectly.)
- Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
- Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of
the committers?
- Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and
acknowleged by all committers?
Add project specific tasks here.
Things to check for before voting the project out.
- If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?
- If graduating to a new PMC, has the board voted to accept it?
- Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of
the above tasks?
