Hello everyone,

I'm restarting this thread on the Unstructured Information Management 
Architecture implementation (UIMA) framework, in the hopes of moving 
this along better; this time it also has the prefix [PROPOSAL] which I 
had left out due to over-excitement at doing my first posting to this 
list :-) . 

Please consider this proposal  (on the incubator wiki because it is 
quite long: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/UimaProposal ), and help us 
move it along toward getting it voted on by the Incubator PMC.

Two important clarifying emails (as well as the whole previous thread) 
can be found here:
 http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Proposal-for-a-new-incubation-project%3A-Unstructured-Information-Management-Architecture---UIMA-p5987788.html  
and  
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Proposal-for-a-new-incubation-project%3A-Unstructured-Information-Management-Architecture---UIMA-p5986403.html
(These are also hyperlinks in the wiki to these at the end of the first 
small section.)
