I was just curious. Actually, I write quite a lot rule-based annotators these days, but always in a commercial context (and mostly for other sectors). So, I cannot contribute them to UIMA or cTAKES unfortunately. I am still planning to provide ready to use ASL rule-based components for Ruta, but all the time I can invest is spent on the system itself (so that it performs better in an industrial setting). In case someone wants to create rule-based Ruta annotators for cTAKES, be sure that he/she can count on my help and support.
