I have to weigh in and say that I agree that the bar here was set high from several perspectives.
I'm currently evaluating what components of this project can be most useful for incorporation into 2 separate projects. If either one moves forward in the next 6 months, there will be more developers actively involved here. That said, I've watched some of the transition videos from Google folks and read a lot of the docs, reviewed code and worked on implementing this project for myself. It is daunting and would benefit overall from 2 significant - imho critical - updates; (1) the Product itself needs real changes - like the concept of bots needs pulled out from core terminology and revamped as a more current common concept / ie agents. There needs to be better organization of the Product from concept to contribution. This is not to diminish the vast resources present, only to highlight an improvement area. (2) the Architecture needs serious review and revision to figure out how best to leverage other projects and allow focus on the specific benefits this project enables. The technology stack overall needs better separation at least from a newcomers perspective. As a third factor, and #1 on my list for adoption is rolling docker images for the project. This is essential in my humble opinion to allow new developers to focus on the pieces they feel most equipped to contribute comfortably... I don't know how the major changes I am suggesting get introduced and discussed in much more detail. I'm hoping that perhaps I lieue of a potentially dismissive email "vote" ... Maybe a virtual conference would be of interest? I would hope that the participants of such a convention would be the core of a nascent rebirth. Yes I am volunteering to help take this on if there is interest... Thanks, Adam John (914) 623-8433 On Aug 30, 2016 12:43 PM, "Zachary Yaro" <zmy...@gmail.com> wrote: I am in a similar boat.
