Hyperledger Composer
We are continuing to deliver weekly releases of new features and bug fixes to the community. The community are regularly opening bugs in our GitHub repository, and they are being turned around quickly. We are also receiving and answering a significant number of questions on both Rocket.Chat and Stack Overflow. We are seeing a noticeable uptick in new contributors to the project, however contributions are mostly limited to documentation updates at this time.
There are no issues at this time.
We are delivering weekly releases of new features and bug fixes to the community. The information about each release is available in GitHub in the release notes: https://github.com/hyperledger/composer/releases
We see very little activity on the project mailing lists. We see significant amounts of activity on Rocket.Chat, Stack Overflow, and GitHub issues. In IBM, we have two team members dedicated to providing assistance to end users on Rocket.Chat and Stack Overflow (Paul O'Mahoney and Rob Thatcher) and they regularly and quickly answer all questions. We are also starting 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.
