Ok. When is 1.0 due for delivery (roughly)?
The only honest answer that we can give to that is "when it is ready." See http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/helping.html#release
I think it is fair to say that we are "close" to a 1.0, but a fair amount of cleanup remains to be done and the timeline really depends on the amount of volunteer time available and what else emerges as we complete code and test review.
Meanwhile I will do the Java rewrite and make the source + func & perf tests available on our website so you guys can have a look before any commit.
Sounds good. Pls also make sure that you will be able to apply the Apache Software License (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) to the translated Java code when you submit it. You may also want to have a look at http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla.txt.
BTW, is there any "graph library" proposal? Or any "heuristic optimisation" like simulated annealing, ant walk, genetic programming, etc. I know it's not numerics, but its still maths and algebra...
Once we get 1.0 out, we will be open to any and all suggestions for where to go with extensions, subject to the guiding principles in the project proposal:
1. Real-world application use cases will determine development priority.
2. This package will emphasize small, easily integrated components rather than large libraries with complex dependencies and configurations.
3. All algorithms will be fully documented and follow generally accepted best practices.
4. In situations where multiple standard algorithms exist, a Strategy pattern will be used to support multiple implementations.
5. Limited dependencies. No external dependencies beyond Commons components and the core Java 2 platform.
This leaves the mathematical scope wide open -- there is already certainly more than numerics included already.
Thanks!
Phil
