+The Machine Learning (ML) library for Flink is a new effort to bring
scalable ML tools to the Flink
+community. Our goal is is to design and implement a system that is
scalable and can deal with
+problems of various sizes, whether your data size is measured in megabytes
or terabytes and beyond.
+We call this library FlinkML.
+
+An important concern for developers of ML systems is the amount of glue
code that developers are
+forced to write [1] in the process of implementing an end-to-end ML
system. Our goal with FlinkML
+is to help developers keep glue code to a minimum. The Flink ecosystem
provides a great setting to
+tackle this problem, with its scalable ETL capabilities that can be easily
combined inside the same
+program with FlinkML, allowing the development of robust pipelines without
the need to use yet
+another technology for data ingestion and data munging.
+
+Another goal for FlinkML is to make the library easy to use. To that end
we will be providing
+detailed documentation along with examples for every part of the system.
Our aim is that developers
+will be able to get started with writing their ML pipelines quickly, using
familiar programming
+concepts and terminology.

A good documentation should be self-evident IMHO. Guess we can merge this
paragraph with the previous, can't we?
