Hi Ean, Well, if you manage to get some sort of HEAD-lite version working .. or even a HEAD-heavy version that somehow fits in with or resembles or "naturally goes with" the general framework of https://github.com/opencog/docker/tree/master/indigo then please make a pull req .
I'm not sure I like the organization of that repo according to ROS releases. It could be better to organize it according to function. --linas On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 12:28 PM, Ean Schuessler <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice work!
