    +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?
