Not every project has a clear chair or leader. Extras - Thorsten
Leemhuis, Documentation - Karsten Wade, Ambassadors & Marketing - Alex
Maier, L10N - Aman Alam & Chester Cheng does.

Extras - Thriving well. Ongoing improvements in processes and governance
model. Documentation - Well defined processes and a strong core team.
Needs more actual contributions. Planned RHEL docs licensing would be a
great boost. Legacy - needs more visibility, contributors,
infrastructure. Ambassadors - Pretty active. Lot of events and
discussions. Marketing - Needs more leadership and creativeness.
Translation - Very large number of contributors. Needs more visibility.
Websites - Wiki is active. Good number of contributors. Plone based site
planned to be launched.  Infrastructure - Seems to be doing well. Live
CD - Jeremy Katz seems to be leading the development side now. We have
many interested contributors.

I am not sure how to authoritatively define the "status" of a project.
What information are you looking for here?

As defined within Extras, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs

The projects which as a steering committee and chair has clearly
identifiable leaders responsible for it. Over time we can hope all of
the active projects gets this kind of arrangement.
