Hi all! We've recently had several mentors bow out of mentoring due to their other responsibilities becoming more pressing. Consequently, we're looking to add 2-3 more folks who can help us navigate the Incubator process.
http://annotator.apache.org/ has more information if you're new to the project. Our greatest incubator related hurdle is wrangling a scattered community from across the Web into the welcoming arms of our project. :) We're building tooling around the W3C's Web Annotation specifications [1] and writing browser and server code to eventually replace much of the tooling originally provided by Annotator.js [2]. However, our goal is *not* to ship a full UX for doing annotation, but rather a set of tools to enable developers to ship annotation capabilities within their applications. You can read more about our project on our Proposal page: https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/wiki/Proposal We hope to eventually be able to liaison with many other Apache Top-Level Projects to add annotation capabilities to their systems for machine learning, linked data, and natural language processing (search, indexing, etc). Help wanted! :) Much thanks! Benjamin [1] https://www.w3.org/annotation/ [2] http://annotatorjs.org/ -- http://bigbluehat.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/benjaminyoung
