+1, but I also got a couple of observations.

a) The name "Pig" is somewhat provocative (not kosher/halal) and I would like 
to hear the rationale behind the name, and whether there are any willingness 
to look for another name.

b) I can't say that I understand the technical merits of the proposal, and 
just see the headline "analyzing large data sets". And I would like to know 
the relationship with UIMA's statement "... analyze large volumes of 
unstructured information..." and hear whether there are overlap, synergies 
and/or collaboration in view.


Cheers
