Michael - could you write something about the Sandbox on Apache?
Purpose, what's in it. Something short - to be included in the
docbook docs.

So you want to include a short paragraph about the sandbox to the
docbook of the UIMA 2.1 release. I would only add something similar as
we have on the web:
The UIMA sandbox is a workspace that is open to all UIMA committers
and developers who would like to contribute code and join the UIMA
developer community. The sandbox is designed to host analysis
components like annotators, parser or consumers, as well as UIMA
tooling. All the components developed in the sandbox are free to use
and licensed under the Apache Software License
<http://incubator.apache.org/uima/license.html>.
A list of proposed analysis components and tooling for UIMA is
available at the UIMA wiki
<http://cwiki.apache.org/UIMA/uima-sandbox-components.html> and can
be discussed there.
I would not tell the people what's currently in since we have no release
for the sandbox. My plan is to have also a release for the sandbox as
soon as we have released the core
framework. For the next UIMA release we can add the components that have
already been released in the sandbox. Does this make sense?
