 Apache UIMA Project Guidelines

Note: This is a working draft document.

Discussion of this document is occuring on the uima-dev mailing list.


This document defines the guidelines of the Apache UIMA™ Project. It includes definitions of the various categories of membership, who is able to vote, how conflicts are resolved by voting, and the procedures to follow for proposing and making changes to the codebase of the Project.

This project's purpose is to develop Apache-licensed implementations of the UIMA standard being developed by the UIMA Technical Committee at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=uima . As such, we will not incorporate changes into the project which are not compliant with the standard, and will evolve implementations here to be compliant with the evolving changes in the standard.

This is a living document. Changes can be made by the Podling Project Management Committee. Suggestions for changes should be discussed on the dev@uima.apache.org mailing list
