Hi Turik, Is my understanding correct that GA Grid is a vertical component for genetic algorithms? So far Ignite has been a horizontal product without any vertical functionality. I personally would like to keep it this way (other community members should chime in here).
I personally think it is great that GA Grid gets a lot of mention on Apache Ignite website and has been a valuable integration for the Ignite community. If you would like to join Apache, have you considered a separate Apache project? This may help you build a community around your work and benefit from the established Apache processes during incubation. D.
