Hi all, I'd like to discuss about maintenance of the official templates.
I updated all official templates for PredictionIO 0.13.0. There are 7 templates for now and I think it's too expensive to use our poor resource to maintain. So I'd like to propose something to reduce maintenance cost of these templates. For example, porting them to giter8 templates is one idea. Takako has worked on it before (https://github.com/shimamoto/predictionio-template.g8). It makes possible to aggregate multiple templates to a single project, and also help to reduce duplication. or at least, we might be able to aggregate them to a single project simply. Further, we need to maintain the quickstart document in the PredictionIO repository as well. I wonder if we can move these docs (and examples as well?) to corresponding template repositories. It would make the synchronization of templates and docs much easier. Anyway, every release of PredictionIO causes such extra and unessential costs. I really want to reduce them. It would help to make more frequent development and releases in the future. I'd like to hear your opinion or ideas. -- Naoki Takezoe
