My apologies as we tried to be transparent as we can in the original project proposal: - There are currently over 50 contributors/developers actively contributing to cTAKES spread across over 8 sites (Mayo, BCH, Colorado University, Pittsburgh, UCSD, MITRE, etc.). - We have already communicated to developers as well as known users about the move to Apache as soon as we could. They have also been invited to the various ctakes-dev@ mailing lists as soon as they were created (which seems to be a first logical step in also becoming contributors/committers).
I am a bit scared by this statement. The initial developers list only has 4 names on it compared to 50 active contributors/developers, why is there such a huge gap? How many people have commit rights for cTAKES on SF?
Did you reach consensus among the developers to move cTAKES to the Apache Incubator or is this a fork of the cTAKES project?
This also has a big impact on the IP clearance process because all parties who contributed a significant amount
to the code base should be involved in it. Jörn
