2019 Q1 Hyperledger Cello
Project
Project Health
Project health is largely the same as in previous update. The community is making changes to make Cello more of a production ready tool. Features and capabilities are now more based on common use cases and behaviors of the Blockchain applications. Weekly meetings often see 10+ participates and often run over the allocated 30 minutes due to discussions and questions. In some cases, very well run pass 1 hour mark.
Issues
There are no major issues at this time.
Releases
- v0.9.0: Support v1.1/v1.2 fabric in k8s agent, Add v1.3 capabilities to ansible agent.
- v1.0.0: Most of the changes to the project are towards this release. We like to be very cautious and prudent on this release and will not rush it out.
Overall Activity in the Past Quarter
- Ansible agent continued with many features additions:
- raft support
- peer only or orderer only setup
- Fabric metrics port exposure
- Improved user experience for user dashboard.
- Design the new architecture to support blockchain governing.
- Bug fixes and documentation improvement.
Current Plans
| Use new framework to unify all the user interface panels | High |
Organize and manage fabric network dynamically | High |
| Adopt the Interop working group channel expansion method | Low |
| Support fabric 1.4 and later version (if using ansible agent, this is done already) | Medium |

Contributor Diversity
Contributions to the projects maintain the similar rate as Q1. Lot of discussions on bringing user management components from a third party which already has the function in their product.
