DISCLAIMER:

Apache MXNet (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The

Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache

Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted

projects until a further review indicates that the

infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have

stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF

projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection

of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate

that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
