I have found that I'm not making constructive contributions to the standards effort, and so have decided to scale back my involvement from voting member to observer. I'll still follow what's going on over on OASIS as far as Apache UIMA is concerned, but I will spend much less time on it.
Anybody who's interested in the standard proposal and how it's developing should check out the OASIS UIMA page http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=uima and in particular the documents section here: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php These are freely accessible to the public. --Thilo
