Quick IncubatorToolsCode Evaluation

=Evaluation Date : 3rd September 2014=

Summary
Project is active even though it needs to create a Roadmap. Also better guidelines for Developers can help the project get more volunteers. Since this is a library to be implemented, we expect better documentation for users on this part.

Level of Maturity
Incubator, potential to become LAB

OWASP_Java_XML_Templates_Project
http://lists.owasp.org/pipermail/owasp-java-xml-templates/

Summary
Project is inactive no developments since 2011

Level of Maturity
Incubator - Inactive

Summary
Project has not updated its wiki in a year. The project repository is active but we need to remember that these are just rules that most be used with http://nginx.com/ which is a commercial tool. You get the rules for free but you need to buy the Web Firefall. Rules alone do not work

Level of Maturity
Does not fit with OWASP open source vision

Summary
Project is using an old wiki template but information is quite complete. A simple guideline was found on the wiki and very good track record fixing issues. We suggest to have a mailing list. Needs more work on documentation to get more contributors and users.

Level of Maturity
Incubator

Summary
Project has excellent documentation, Nice external website and wiki page, including videos for Users but there are no issues(only 1 and is closed). Last year it was a very active project present on different Appsec conferences. Need more documentation for new developers, if project plans to get new contributors

=Evaluation Date : 5th September 2014=

Summary
Wiki template is very complete. The project is an OS/Virtual machine, not easy to host on a repository so we understand the challenges to make this available using an repository. What I miss here are instructions or clarifications, such as a reference to the Mantra Framework project and Guidelines and User guides for first time users.

Level of Maturity
Incubator

Summary
The project had a very inactive/dormant period last year, and later picked up after a year in recession. The Project has some basic documentation but it should have more to make it clear for users how the project can be built properly and the OS supported.Wiki page is very abstract and has very little information about the project, Releases and Roadmap. Based on the mailing list, it has been very quite and little reaction from the public. Little activity in the bug list (1 bug fixed). We don't have the impression there is a group of users. Project should work on improving its documentation, add some print screens and videos can help a lot for user adoption

Level of Maturity
Incubator

Summary
Very active project, on github. Project leader is also very active promoting the project at different conferences. Tools also won an award and is doing an excellent work like no other OWASP tool does which is to show information about SSL certificate and tests the SSL connection according given list of ciphers and various SSL configurations. Excellent documentation.Based on the level of maturity it can become a LAB project
