Hi OpenNLP devs,

I am really interested in this project. Having had to build a decision
tree and spellchecker from scratch, having a project like this is
awesome.
Still playing around with it so I havent had chance to add patches or
new features.

If I may add some comments, I think the project needs a quick demo
project to showcase how the existing features work.

Just my 2-cents. Looking forward to help for this project to be top level ASF.

This is all good. I must admit that I have hesitated to contribute because I
far prefer working with Scala and start grating my teeth when I go back to
Java. Sorry about that, but it is just how it is for me.

Maybe we can work this into a jira issue, and then advertise it that we 
are looking
for a spellchecker contribution.

I think there are quite a few things where it would be really nice to 
get contributions
fore, e.g. lemma detection,  support for more languages,
dependency parser, stemmers, CRF, topic modeling,  etc.

What do you think?

I've also implemented a spell checker before, would be happy to help with
tips and pointers.

I'm now encouraging my students to use/modify OpenNLP in their work, so hope
to stir some more developers up that way.

Just let us know if you would like to work on something, so we can 
support you.

Actually we do not have a spellchecker yet,
would you be interested to contribute yours?

+1, I believe we should make a webapp to demonstrate our components combined
with an overview section to explain what OpenNLP can do.
