Overall Activity in the Past Quarter
Per the Aries Activity Dashboard for the third fourth quarter of 2022 (JulyOctober-SeptemberDecember), Aries codebases had 397 PRs (down slightly) from 67 contributors (down slightly).
Community participation is extremely active in Discord channels, community calls, and repo PR reviews and issues. Email lists are less frequently used.
Current Plans
- Aggressive work on eliminating the use of the Indy SDK in favor of the Aries Askar/Indy VDR/anoncreds-rs.
- Expanding features in mobile wallet apps, including adding support for OCA to enable beautifully displayed credentials.
- Work on ledger agnostic AnonCreds support in Aries Frameworks and the standardization of AnonCreds.
- Work on Overlays Capture Architecture (OCA) published by issuers.
Maintainer Diversity
Aries is a multi-codebase effort, and each codebase has its own set of maintainers. The diversity of maintainers closely matches contributors, with notes below. Cross framework collaboration continues to increase through the replacement of the Indy SDK/use of the Shared Components, and in the work on ledger agnostic AnonCreds.
Contributor Diversity
In addition to the code contribution statistics (above), here are a few indicators of our current diversity:
- We hold community calls each Wednesday at 7am Pacific to cover (the mostly) US and European contributors.
- Call attendance for each is typically in the 20-25 range, up somewhat lately.
- Cross codebase interoperability efforts indicate cross-organization cooperation.
