Hi Tim, >we ran into issues in previous attempts at migration with the large file sizes >in our repo
Indeed we did, and over the years I have had thoughts on that. Those large files are large ml models, which are (mostly) static, replaceable/interchangeable, not always necessary, and in separate resource (-res) modules separated from code modules. When I was a ctakes newby really disliked the separation of code from resources by entirely separate -res modules. Since then, through working on projects that use ctakes code but not (huge) resources as dependencies, I have realized the wisdom of the modular separation. In fact, I put a -huge- model in its own -res module so that I could <exclude> it from a ctakes-dependent project, saving compile (download) time and disk space. Like you, I don't like to "download the internet" with maven ;^) Right now we have the ner dictionaries in sourceforge, not the apache repos. While this is done for legal reasons it has worked pretty well. I think that we could maintain an apache SVN repo of -res modules containing only huge model files. I am guessing that we would have to make it a "side/sub project" to maintain a separate repo (jenkins build, etc.). Anyway, it would give us the freedom to use a github repo for code (and non-model resources) without users needing to go through the github large-file workflow, which I see as a barrier to entry.

Unless somebody else beats me to it I will perform some research and see what approaches can be used and which might be best. In the end the cTAKES Project Management Committee will need to vote for any action as sweeping as moving to github.
