On the one hand, trying to preserve the content of the original page. On the other hand, remove content that is redundant with general Apache Foundation information and instead link to the respective Apache pages. I think UIMA is probably a bit too large to be a true one-pager. > I also think it’s great that the ecosystem has been updated. I have at least > one more project that could be added there.

I didn't think like a researcher on this one ;) I guess probably most Apache projects don't have citation information on their landing pages - and there might be a reason for that because could give the appearance of linking the project to a specific institution or people that may or may no longer be associated with the project. In our case that would be IBM and the team around Ferrucci. So if we add citation information, maybe that could be done in a neural way, referring specifically to the Apache UIMA project and not to the original UIMA paper. That said, having a subpage with publications related to the project might still be reasonable. I did add links to papers on the ecosytsem cards - but open to discussion. > How did you expect the process to change (both in the current stage and > overall)?

And it is a draft - there's probably still quite a lot to clean up. I put the draft into the "new-site-v1" branch on https://github.com/apache/uima-site (which is not actually the repo from which the UIMA website is built - it still comes from Subversion at this time) - but the staging comes from the "new-site-v1" there at the moment. So you could either create another branch from that "new-site-v1" and do a pull request into "new-site-v1" (not "main"!) - or you could just commit directly to the "new-site-v1" branch because then the changes would become visible on the staged URL. Maybe try the latter and we're optimistic that we won't run into conflicts 🤞 Cheers, -- Richard
