Hi all, thanks Bruno for sharing your thoughts.
Obviously, I’m a +1 for the idea of a more modularized form of opennlp core components, see Richard's original post. To get things rolling, I’d suggest: The feedback and early conceptual phase could be open until say March 1st 2025. Thoughts? Any more feedback is highly welcome. Should we, in addition, share the modularization proposal (3.x) on the users list so the community can join the discussion? Please participate in this discussion, especially if you are a senior committer and/or PMC member of the OpenNLP project.
