Dear Richard I hope you are doing well.
I have been working on integrating and testing the OpenNLP gRPC service with the Python client in the opennlp-sandbox-experiments repository. So far, I have successfully: - Set up the OpenNLP gRPC server locally (port 7071) - Configured the sentence model (en-sent.bin) - Updated and regenerated the proto client files - Implemented the client-side sentence service testing - Verified server execution and model loading environment My current repository with the integration work: https://github.com/JOBIN-SABU/opennlp-sandbox-experiments At this stage, the server is running correctly and the client structure is in place. I would appreciate your guidance on: 1. Whether the config.properties placement and service configuration align with the intended project structure 2. Any recommended testing endpoints or example requests for validation 3. Preferred contribution direction for completing the remaining integration and documentation Please let me know if you would like me to adapt the implementation to match any internal conventions or upcoming changes in the gRPC service. Thank you for maintaining this project and for your time.
