Rupert Westenthaler commented on STANBOL-241:
---------------------------------------------
regarding the definition of "stable":
For me "stable" is also a question of how stable the features provided by this
set of components are.
about Components:
LangId is for me no candidate for the stable launcher, because it has a LGPL
dependency that is very unlikely to be resolved. Therefore it will most likely
be not in a stanbol release. We should not include functionality in the stable
launcher that is than missing in a release.
Metaxa is quite useful and it would be a good to have it in the stable
launcher. However in the long term it would need to be refactored from an
Engine to the a Content Adapter. I think that even for a release it would be ok
to keep Metaxa as an Engine, therefore this should be no argument for excluding
it from the stable launcher.
Regarding OpenCalais, Zamanta and Geonames: This engines all need an API key
*). We need simple to decide if we want to include those engines in the stable
launcher or not. As long as they are "unsatisfied" without the required API key
they do not really hurt and if users do have the required key it would be much
easier for them to start using them.
In any case we need to validate that the Enhancements created by such engines
are in conformance with the Enhancement Structure because we can not aspect
from users to adapt there clients only because the are activating a different
set of Engines.
E.g. I know that the Zemanta Engine can not provide entity-types values for
EntityAnnotations something that may be a real issue for users. Geonames should
be ok in that respect. I have not had a detailed look at the OpenCalais Engine.

*) This is also true for geonames, because there is the possibility to create a
free account and than use the api.geonames.org server that is much more stable
than the one that allows anonymous connections.

> The Idea is to discontinue the "stateless" launcher and convert it to a
> launcher that only include features that are stable.
> This should also help to identify components to be included in a first
> Stanbol release
> Use this issue to discuss what components to be included
