I agree with you Dan, it needs a better summary, but until it is
actually released, it don't think it makes that much difference. There
are a few other features beyond what you mentioned that I'd add--I'll
put something together before the release and see what people think.

Perhaps we can write a short definition for what the ConceptMapper
does.
The following definition from the main UIMA sandbox web page:
*ConceptMapper is a powerful, highly configurable dictionary UIMA-
based
annotator. *
is not very descriptive of its function. How about this one...
*The ConcpetMapper a highly configurable, high performance
dictionary lookup
tool that adds synonyms and related terms to a token using one of
several
matching algorithms. It can be used to create an enhanced search
experience
for the users.

It is not clear how many people are using ConceptMapper at this
point,
since it hasn't been officially released yet, but in working with
some
projects that are currently using it, we have found some
inefficiencies that
we'd like to correct. Unfortunately, some of the proposed
modifications will
cause changes to the public interfaces (method parameters, returned
objects). If we are going to fix these problems, we can either just
go
forward and do it, breaking any code that might depend on the
current public
interfaces, or we could preserve ConceptMapper and create a
separate new
system, a ConceptMapper2 with the changes. If ConceptMapper is
currently
only used as a UIMA annotator and changes to the public interfaces
will not
cause anyone problems, I'd personally prefer to just make the
changes to
ConceptMapper and not have a new, second version, particularly as
it hasn't
even been *released* yet. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to go
breaking
anyone's currently working systems.
So, are there any comments from anyone currently using ConceptMapper?
Thanks...m
