Hi, moving Clerezza libs to Stanbol would be an option but I am wondering if the Stanbol community is strong enough to additionally maintain this code. The Stanbol code base is quite large with lots of modules and we already have to focus on some core components (and move the unmaintained stuff to contrib). So only moving the code does IMO solve only one part of the problem. The people behind the code should be willing to move and keep contributing. Otherwise I see the potential that the Stanbol team decides to switch entirely from Clerezza to other alternatives.
These are just my current thoughts without having any discussion on the Stanbol list.
