The Apache Whimsy project volunteers create a number of individual Apache Whimsy tools that display and visualize various bits of data related to ASF organizations and processes. The production Whimsy server also has a number of tools that automate some organizational processes, like adding PMC members to official corporate rosters or reading, updating, and approving the monthly board agenda.
Whimsy is different than most other Apache projects in that the tools we build are customized and integrated directly into many of the corporate operations of the ASF. All of our code is Apache licensed and free, however some of the live tools run against private ASF data, so running some parts of Whimsy is only available to Committers, Members, or Officers.
