[annotator-dev] [DRAFT at 2] Apache Incubator Proposal

Tue May 31 20:59:33 UTC 2016

Great to hear, Robert!

One possible future is that we could create several sub-projects under an "Apache Annotator" top-level project.

Digilib and other similar "problem-space" focused code projects could (at their authors discretion ^_^) be donated to the ASF for continued development as a sub-project.

We're not there yet, obviously. :) But it is something we can (and should) discuss during Incubation as we'll be planning how to structure the project going forward as well as its overall scope--which is where sub-projects can help out.

Excited you're here, Robert!
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

I added myself to the initial committers on the github wiki.

I would gladly commit the couple of lines that is the tokenauth-plugin

https://github.com/openannotation/annotator-tokenauth

My digilib code is also open source but its a part of a separate codebase (mostly by me, currently LGPL). Only the digilib-annotator plugin uses annotator code:

http://digilib.sf.net

But I am very interested in developing more reusable code for image annotations.

Cheers
	Robert

It would be ideal, in fact, for you to join the committers list, contribute your plugins (assuming that's your plan ;) ), and help move all of this forward.
