Hey Donald, I was just looking into your chatterbot. Looks interesting and I tried to play around with it so I thought I would provide you with some quick feedback. I downloaded your released source code but from what I see it contains only the Java files and a sample shell.ini file that I don't really know how to use. so it is a very minimalistic release.
Could you make a release of a buildable source code as a maven project or an ant project or simply an eclipse project with the dependencies being there and the bundle boundaries and the MANIFEST files integrated? I think at this point if someone tries to use or investigate your code they will have to figure out a proper build setting, the boundaries between bundles, etc. etc. which is going to make it quite cumbersome to quickly bring it to a working stage. I personally would suggest you release a maven build of the project similar to what is done with other Apache Felix projects. This helps with quickly getting to the build and execution stage. cheers, -Nima On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 8:52 AM, Donald Whytock <[email protected]> wrote: > A few months back I'd thought about submitting my Chatterbot project > to the incubator.
