Hi Lewis, Sorry for taking some time to get back to you. I think the roadmap looks great. One thing, though, is that the Amazon folks and I have discussed making a number of backwards-incompatible changes in an effort to modernize some pieces of the code. This would have to do with things like the config file format, a totally new pipeline based on duct tape, and some other ideas. We think those changes would be suitable for a 7.0 release (major version number change signals backwards incompatibility).
I think we've been doing some good work on improving Joshua, but at the same time, I think the release cycle is still little too accelerated for me. I would like to push back to semi- yearly or even yearly releases, with bug fixes in between. However, I'm also curious how this might affect our ability to move out of incubation. Do you have any thoughts on this? The major downsides to releases are documentation. It's just hard to find the time to do. My own thoughts for what I'd like to do: - Maybe a 6.1 release (soon, to get it out of the way? or otherwise this fall?), where we formalize the Apache move and maybe formalize the release of a handful of language packs, without a lot of other changes - Write a linux.com article advertising this, hopefully attracting some attention - Shoot for a 7.0 release with many of the changes we've discussed (some offline). If we get a good showing at MT Marathon in Prague this year, that could be a good time to get all of that in order. - Start getting to work on a version of Joshua that swaps out the core decoder for a neural approach matt > On Jun 23, 2016, at 4:13 PM, Tom Barber <t...@analytical-labs.com> wrote: > > I would volunteer some cycles for multi model support in the server and an > improved rest interface and basic UI for end user interaction if you fancy > it. > > -------------- > > Director Meteorite.bi - Saiku Analytics Founder > Tel: +44(0)5603641316 > > (Thanks to the Saiku community we reached our Kickstart > <http://kickstarter.com/projects/2117053714/saiku-reporting-interactive-report-designer/> > goal, but you can always help by sponsoring the project > <http://www.meteorite.bi/products/saiku/sponsorship>) > > On 23 June 2016 at 21:10, Lewis John Mcgibbney <lewis.mcgibb...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi Folks, >> Anyone have any comments on this? >> Seeing that the Maven multimodule project seems to be taking flight, it >> would be nice to see where the roadmap is going? >> Any comments would be great.
