Part of any proposal for a vote to graduate is the Charter (see
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html ).

The original project description on our Status page (
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/uima ) was recently broadened from
the original to include scale-out capability, annotators, and "other
components that can be used with the framework", such as the Simple
Server, and the Maven / Ant packaging tools to package things as Pears. 
I feel that having these additions is important to helping UIMA succeed,
but that level of detail may be best omitted in the Charter.

Here's a first try at the project-scope part of Charter, please discuss:

...
RESOLVED, that the Apache UIMA Project be and hereby is responsible for
the creation and maintenance of software related to components and
component frameworks for the analysis of unstructured data, guided by
the UIMA Oasis Standard (http://www.oasis-open.org) ...

Please suggest improvements :-)

-Marshall
