I can't follow. Stratosphere is only mentioned in the "History" part. Of course, we can strike out "Stratosphere II" and make clear that Flink is a fork on Stratosphere. But that is minor.
And adding the Stratosphere papers as a reference, was the requirement to get the article accepted in the first place. Thus, it would not make sense to remove them. Currently, there are no other "reliable and notable" source (in term of Wikipedia guidelines) that can be used as references. Of course, the article is super short and needs to be extended. But the project is moving fast and only "stable" stuff should be on Wikipedia. It is hard enough to keep the project web page up to data. ;) Maybe, we can discuss what should be included and what not. -Matthias On 07/07/2015 04:17 PM, Stephan Ewen wrote: > Thanks, Matthias, for starting this. > > It looks a bit like the article talks more about the Stratosphere project > than Flink right now. > I think we need to make a few things clear, to not confuse people: > > 1) Flink != Stratosphere.
