Re: [recommenders-dev] [snipmatch] should we announce a prototype drop?

[Doug Wightman <douglasw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Agreed. When I wrote "bare minimum" I was thinking MVP :) Definitely
not going for a fully-fleshed out offering.

If we can soon have a version that people may actually adopt (and I
think we can), rather than just trying it as a "demo", I think we
should announce then.

A little manual setup wont hurt much as we could announce it as alpha. But I think snipmatch should provide a waste of templates for almost all standard things (read, all templates already built-in Eclipse should be part of snipmatch too + as many new ones as possible) to make it valuable. In fact it should allow you to replace Eclipse's current templates completions.
