There is active development of cTAKES enhancements on the sourceforge site by people who are not among the initial Apache committers. The 2.6 release of cTAKES which is in the start of its build process is what I would call a functional release. This release and its release date were planned prior to being accepted as an incubator project.
I was hoping before the first release of "Apache cTAKES" the initial committers would spend time refactoring (removing spaces from directory names, as well as standardizing tree names, and other refactoring). There isn't time for those sorts of changes before 2.6 unless we change the release plans for it. -- James > -----Original Message----- > From: ctakes-dev-return-117- > [email protected] [mailto:ctakes-dev-return- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of > Mattmann, Chris A (388J) > Sent: Friday, July 20, 2012 2:23 PM > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: SVN source structure for Apache cTAKES? > > Hi James, > > No problem, OK thanks for helping get to the bottom of this. > We had issues like this with Apache Lucy and recently with Apache Any23 and > my advice to you guys is that it's just better to really invest the time now to > get your community *fully* (yes that even means in progress releases) over > here to the ASF or else you'll find yourself (a) duplicating effort; (b) > splintering users (should we get *apache ctakes* or *ctakes before > apache*), etc. > > Releases get users interested, cause maintenance, generate buzz, etc., and > I'm of the opinion that should happen here since you guys wanted to come > here and build your project at the ASF. > > I think you guys are doing great and just want to see Apache cTAKES thrive so > thanks for helping to do that. > > Cheers, > Chris > > On Jul 20, 2012, at 12:16 PM, Masanz, James J. wrote: > > > Hi Chris, > > > > As far as I see it wasn't mentioned in the original proposal.
