I've put up a private roadmap page on Confluence. Feel free to add / edit / comment.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JOSHUA/Private+Roadmap Johns, the hook is that there are a lot of NLP tools that one can download and use (Berkeley Parser, spacy, etc), which have prebuilt models and just work — black box. But there is nothing like that for MT! Nothing you can just download and easily run, without caring about how it works or wanting to improve it. We want to build MT as a tool that people can easily include in their projects. Making MT available in this way will lead to uses that we haven't imagined. matt > On Nov 18, 2016, at 2:14 AM, Henri Yandell <bay...@apache.org> wrote: > > Given the community-over-code meme, incubator graduation is more about the > people than the code :) > > So I'm more interested in your roadmap being discussed and consensus > existing, than on how many releases are done etc. I like your proposed > roadmap and it seems like nice timing on request-for-graduation. > > Hen > > On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 2:44 AM, Matt Post <p...@cs.jhu.edu> wrote: > >> My thinking on that roadmap was a comment Lewis made a while ago about >> incubator graduation being judged by the number of releases.
