Hi Fabian and Devs, We also widely use Stanbol both as part of customers projects and within our main product. I admit that we should been contributing further than we currently do, but sometimes is difficult to find the time for preparing something you have customize according to your concrete needs to a more generic contribution.
Apart from that, it seems that Stanbol nowadays covers a couple of well known uses cases that most of the final users adopt where, in my opinion, both further contributions and improvements will not likely arise. Still under my opinion, one reason is because of the complexity of the code. Another reason, taking into account that there is quite poor activity at the list regarding this, is that Stanbol Enhancer features seem to be enough for final users. I think we are not failing in the objective of making Apache Stanbol a great tool for developers. We are probably failing, I don't know why, in the objective of building and maintaining a community. Those are just my thoughts On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 11:48 AM Rafa Haro <rh...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Arthi, > > I started to develop one: https://github.com/rafaharo/pystanbol > > It only covers Enhancer for now.
