| Tika is a toolkit for detecting and extracting metadata and |

| parser libraries. Tika entered incubation on March 22nd, 2007. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Community</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| There have been a number of positive items within Tika during the |
| last few months. The traffic on the Tika mailing list has increased |
| significantly (with typically 2, 3 questions, and 1 or 2 commits |
| every day, or every other day), and there have been a lot of recent |
| inquiries from external projects wanting to collaborate with Tika |
| (including Aperture, PDFBox and a fellow developing a JSon library |
| currently hosted at Google code). In addition, Tika's architecture |
| has become a recent discussion of interest (as we'll see below). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| We recently elected Keith Bennett as a new committer to Tika. |
| Keith has been spearheading many of the new patches committed to |
| Tika, as well as participating in discussions about the |
| architecture, and future direction of the project. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Tika will be represented at the "Fast Feather" track at |
| ApacheCon US by Jukka Zitting. The rest of the community is helping |
| to create the content for the presentation. The abstract is listed |
| below: |
| </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| Tika is a new content analysis framework borne from the desire to |
| factor our commonality from the Apache Nutch search engine framework. |
| Tika provides a mime detection framework, an extensible parsing |
| framework and metadata environment for content analysis. Though in |
| its nascent stages, progress on Tika has recently taken shape and |
| the project is nearing a stable 0.1 release. In this talk, we'll |
| describe the core APIs of Tika and discuss its use in several |
| distinct domains including search engines, scientific data |
| dissemination and an industrial setting. |
| </blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Development</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| There have been a flurry of JIRA issues and code activity |
| (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA) including 47 issues |
| currently in JIRA, with 32 resolved issues, 14 closed issues, |
| and 2 open major/minor issues in progress). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Tika's Parser interface (one of its key components) has just |
| undergone a major overhaul led by Jukka Zitting, and Chris |
| Mattmann has recently contributed a MimeType system (with help from |
| fellow Apache Nutch committer Jerome Charron) to Tika. We also |
| cleaned up and refactored large parts of the rest of the code |
| (removing references to LiusLite and branding the project wherever |
| possible with the Tika name), in preparation for an upcoming |
| 0.1 release. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Chris Mattmann has led an effort to carve out the existing MimeType |
| detection system in Apache Nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/) |
| and replace it with Tika's improved MimeType detection system. |
| There is a patch sitting in JIRA right now |
| (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-562), and barring |
| objections, Nutch will rely on Tika for its MimeType detection |
| abilities. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Also active recently were committers Bertrand Delacretaz, Sami |
| Siren and Rida Benjelloun, committing patches and improvements |
| wherever needed. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Issues before graduation</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| No changes since our last report: the Tika project is still at |
| an early stage of incubation. We need to continue bringing in the |
| initial codebases and are targeting an initial incubating release |
| (0.1) probably within the next month. We also need to work on |
| growing the community and figuring out how to best interact with |
| external parser projects. |

| The Tika mailing lists have been relatively quiet lately, probably |

| </p> |
| <p><strong>Community</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| We had a good project bootstrap meeting as a part of the text |
| analysis BOF at the ApacheCon EU in Amsterdam. The resulting ideas |
| were summarized on the project mailing list, and the first design |
| threads have started. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Development</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| We've started discussing the design of the Tika toolkit. It seems |
| like we will select one of the existing codebases listed in the |
| project proposal as the basis of an early 0.1 release, and start |
| refactoring the code into a more generic toolkit. The Tika svn |
| tree is still empty, but I expect us to see the first code commits |
| before the next report. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Infrastructure</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| All the initial infrastructure is now in place. There is still |
| some activity on the temporary Tika wiki on the Google Project |
| hosting service, so we may end up requesting a Tika wiki to be |
| set up on the ASF infrastructure. |
| </p> |
| <p><strong>Issues before graduation</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| The Tika project is still at an early stage of incubation. The |
| most important tasks before graduation are to develop and release |
| the Tika codebase and to grow a diverse and sustainable project |
| community. |
