Hi Mike,
May I have your opinion? I'm going to count the vote now. Thanks!

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your input. We indeed fixed several license issues in this patch
release but still have to leave over the license issue of cub and mklml to
the next minor release.

RE: new website, docs code freeze

2019-09-21 Thread Zhao, Patric
Minor suggestion:

I think we can add more in features page to attract the user and also highlight 
the differentiation of MXNet.
Something like quantization, faster inference and training, horovod supporting, 
AMP, automatic fusion in the fly... 
http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/features

Thanks,

--Patric
