         <p>UIMA's incubation status file is here: <a href="https://incubator.apache.org/projects/uima.html">
         https://incubator.apache.org/projects/uima.html</a></p>

         <p>Some recent activity:</p>

         <ul>
           <li>The UIMA Sandbox has been populated with some example annotators</li>
           <li>A person new to the project, Jörn Kottmann, has written an Eclipse plugin
             he wants to contribute - we're going through the steps to bring this into the
             UIMA Sandbox.  He has submitted a software grant, and we're awaiting it's acknowledgement
             (as of Wednesday, Jan 10)</li>
         </ul>

         <p>We expect to do a release next month, and have been working to get all the little details needed
         for this completed.</p>

         <p>We expect that we will need some assistance in doing our first release,
           to verify we're following the rules properly.  We will
         start by using our mentors, and then ask the incubator PMC to review the proposed release.</p>

         <p>UIMA is a component framework for the analysis of unstructured content such as
           text, audio and video.</p>

         <p>Things are proceeding well, there is a lot of activity on the dev list, a lot of
           coding activity. We're pretty much settled in with the Apache infrastructure,
           have figured out how we want to use Jira in conjunction with SVN etc.</p>

         <p>Some recent activity:</p>

         <ul>
           <li>Infrastructure setup complete, barring some minor JIRA admin issues</li>
           <li>Website in good shape now, using Anakia</li>
           <li>Settled on Confluence for Wiki</li>
           <li>M2 build done</li>
           <li>Documentation has been converted to DocBook, although there are still some
             formatting issues to address</li>
           <li>Sample code has been updated</li>
           <li>Moving known issues from previous issue tracking systems to Jira</li>
           <li>Created sandbox as a place to contribute UIMA analysis components,
             tooling</li>
           <li> We've posted messages at the previous UIMA download locations notifying our
             user base that development has moved to the ASF incubator</li>
         </ul>

         <p>Our priorities for the coming weeks:</p>

         <ul>
           <li>We are hoping to be able to do our first Apache incubator release early next
             year. There is a lot of work to be done to make that happen, and we're still in the
             process of figuring out what that work is exactly ;-)</li>
           <li>Get the sandbox off to a running start</li>
           <li>Discuss ways to attract new committers</li>

         <p>UIMA is a component framework for the analysis of unstructured content such as
           text, audio and video.</p>

         <p>There was some discussion on incubator-general about changing the name of the
           project to something that's not an acronym and does not have a history outside of
           Apache. The final consensus though was that the arguments for keeping the name
           outweighed the ones for changing, so we're sticking with it.</p>

         <p>After the naming discussion was settled, we started getting the infrastructure
           set up:</p>

         <ul>
           <li>Mailing lists set up</li>
           <li>SVN repository created</li>
           <li>Apache, SVN, Jira accounts for committers (mostly done)</li>
           <li>Initial code drop checked in after receipt of software grant, Apache license
             headers inserted</li>
           <li>Initial version of website created</li>
         </ul>

         <p>Our priorities for the next few weeks:</p>

         <ul>
           <li>Finish infrastructure set up, get settled in with Apache</li>
           <li>Work on our (maven2) build</li>
           <li>Work on our website, document our build etc.</li>
           <li>Start directing our existing user base to Apache to attract some early
             adopters</li>
           <li>Discuss ways to attract new committers</li>
