Re: On the Removal of src:tensorflow [and 1 more messages]



Hi Ian,

Thanks for the offering. I'm not eager to write such a wiki page
because it's not urgent. Plus, currently I have a rather complete
image on the "Future Debian and Artificial Intelligence" topic
based on experience. Of course I won't be satisfied by
only documenting these small points.

I've already planned to write a long article on the whole topic
with a good overview and some important details[1] including
those mentioned in the previous mails. Please look forward to it.
After finishing the article, porting it to debian wiki would be
trivial enough.

On the other hand, rushing a debian wiki page covering only a
single small topic, out of git tracking, would result in something
like "write once, burden forever" to me once the URL had been
widely spread. So please wait for my article.

P.S.
I'm concurrently working on 3 non-trivial documentation projects:
1. "Debian and Gentoo's Linear Algebra Libraries" (i.e. BLAS/LAPACK)
2. The Unofficial "ML-Policy"
3. "Future Debian and Artificial Intelligence"
hope this could help me demonstrate how unwilling I am to
maintain a wiki page.

[1] and possibly submit it to lwn
