Jeff, Ralph,
Hmmm, so maybe Photran is not quite dead... I had assumed the project
was dead because:
So:
- update the project meta-data
- update the project website
- either utilize or delete the photran-dev mailing list (I see that
you use photran@ instead of/in addition to? photran-dev@)
- schedule a Continuation Review including a review of the IP log
of the project
(http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php)
- explain why one committer is a "diverse committer community" or
else what you are doing to increase the diversity of the committer
community

Ralph, what's this?
What's going on?
Since when are we a "dead project?" Since when are we becoming part of
PTP? I didn't know any of this discussion was happening. Since you're
the project lead, I'm assuming you were in on it...

Photran is not a dead project. Why do you think it is? We haven't
had a big release for a long time, but we have had small ones.
Well, no, you haven't had a release at all (no "Photran" on
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/previous-release-reviews.php ). A
"release" of an open source project (such as Apache or Eclipse) is a
defined event that corresponds to the community approving the code, the
project team, and the IP cleanliness. Photran has never done that. You
are, as far as I can tell, avoiding the official development process by
creating 'betaN' builds and treating them as releases, but that does
not mean that they are official "releases".
