I tend to prefer micro repositories, but there are arguments in both
directions.  If you would like a GitHub repo, let us know. I can create one
or show another committer how to do it.

Implementation of Chatbot & Adapter project

[Dingfan Zhao]

Dear mentors,

I summarised the ideas that we come up with after discussion with Mr Alek in 
this email. I appreciate if anyone can provide any advice on the choice of 
implementation of the project. 

1. The first one is about the integration issue. Currently there are two 
choices about the integration of the Chatbot with the main Fineract project. 
The first one is to fork the whole Fineract project to the current code base 
and develop it inside the huge code base. The other choice is that Chatbot only 
communicate with main project using RESTful API provided by the Mifos. 

2. The choice of NLP framework used for Chatbot. There may be license issue so 
we may use NLP framework of Apache to avoid such issues. Apache 
OpenNLP(https://opennlp.apache.org/) or DL4J (https://deeplearning4j.org/nlp) 
might be good choices. 


If you have any suggestions on how to choose between those choices, please tell 
me your ideas. Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Dingfan
