Hyperledger Composer
We have been delivering regular releases of new features and bug fixes to the community. The community are regularly opening bugs in our GitHub repository, and if high priority, then they have been turned around quickly. We are also receiving and answering a significant number of questions on both Rocket.Chat and Stack Overflow. We are continuing to see an uptick in new contributors to the project, however contributions are mostly limited to documentation updates at this time.

We are continuing to see other people in the community regularly answer questions as well, which is a good step forwards. The current contributors are also good at responding to comments GitHub issues in a timely manner.
