granting code to Apache UIMA project

[Eric Riebling <er...@cs.cmu.edu>]

Greetings,

Carnegie Mellon would like to grant code to the Apache UIMA project, in 
the form of two support tools we have created:

 * UIMA Component Repository (UCR): A web portal for 
upload/download/review of UIMA components, type systems, etc. Based on 
Java and existing tools (e.g. Tomcat).

 * UIMA Component Container (UCC): A Java system that supports 
server-side execution of distributed UIMA services on data supplied from a client 
web browser.

This message is intended to initiate discussion about whether such a 
grant makes sense, and if so, what the concrete next steps should be in 
preparing the software.

(On the legal side, we have engaged CMU's tech transfer office regarding 
the grant letter from CMU, and we are working out the details with them 
now.)

Thank you for your consideration,

Eric Riebling, Senior Research Programmer
Eric Nyberg, Professor

School of Computer Science
Carnegie Mellon University

Hi Eric,

that sounds very interesting.  There seems to be
a lot of interest in this kind of application
recently, cf. the U-compare announcement.

I assume that's the code that is driving the CMU
repository, at least the portal part?  If we accept
this code donation, will you be able to
continue working on it, fix bugs etc?
