Should I keep answering to the whole ML about this, or only to you?
Keep the mailing list in loop. There might be others interested in this.
In addition ml do document history which is why we always use the ml.

Bonjour Valentin,
welcome to the ML. Good to hear that you've decided to join the open
source
movement.
First of all, it would really help, if you could elaborate some use
cases
for your library. You're talking about building algorithms. What kind
of
algorithms can be build with Laboratory Toolkit? Can you give some
code
examples (just create some gists at github that show the the use of
Laboratory Toolkit)?
There is an important requirement for any code to be incorporated into
the
Apache code base:
- the interlectual property (IP) of the code has to be owned
completely by
the contributor. You said, that you've build the Laboratory Toolkit
for a
research project. Are you sure that you own the code? Or is it the
result
of your work and thus is owned by your employer?
At commons we have some additinal requirements:
- There should be a group of people who is willing to maintain the
code
- Commons components should in general not depend on any other
libraries
- Commons uses maven as the main build tool, so there should be a
maven
build available
- The code should have a good test coverage
You have to figure the IP issue out on your own first.
After that, if the community decides to accept this contribution, we
can
work on the commons requirements.
Best regards and thank you,
Benedikt

Hello to all,
As part of a small research project (which combined techniques of
text-mining, machine-learning and natural language generation, not
that
it's really relevant) I have come to design a small JavaSE library,
which
I'm for the moment calling the Laboratory Toolkit, for developing our
algorithms in a comfortable and flexible manner.
I have found it to be quite generic and reusable, not tied to any
application domain, while still being rather accessible, and small
enough
to comprehend it easily. Therefore, I would like to propose it as a
new
Apache Commons component. I would be very grateful if one of you
could
tell me what steps I should follow for that purpose.
I have uploaded it on Github :
https://github.com/vvvvalvalval/Laboratory-Toolkit.git. There you may
find the sources, the javadoc, and a small guide I have started to
write
for it (also attached to this mail).
Of course, I am very open to feedback and criticism on your behalf.
The
last thing I want is to publish an immature or useless component; nor
do I
take a positive answer from you for granted.
If I have failed to follow the proper procedure to propose a new
candidate
component, it is not on purpose, and I apologize in advance.
Whatever your reply, and since I have the chance, I would also like
to
congratulate you for all your work. The Apache Commons components
have
really been lifesavers to me, on many occasions.
With best wishes,
Valentin WAESELYNCK
