Re: Is this CG still active?

I agree the groups started with some steam and then slowed over time.
Myself, I have been pulled away from the space professionally and has taken
away from my time to focus on the problem.  This group got started with a
discussion on how to standardize the communication between multiple IVAs
and have to have a standardized language for IVA intent routing and perhaps
an IVA intent-indexed catalog of IVAs for the purpose of integrating into a
single Gateway IVA that would find intents and route to the specialist IVA
to handle that intent.  This is still a problem, and one that things like
Amazon Skills are working towards, however an open source standard would
change the game.  I'm wondering if the new group continuing this group
would be best as the goals seem very closely related, however, as this
group has slowed, migrating to a new group with some excitement would
benefit the space.

If you haven't read Dirk's paper on a part of the subject, I'd recommend
you do so to get a feel for the basis of the problem I see in the space and
the main discussion of the group.  This is a good step in the direction of
multi-modal NLU systems and integrated IVAs.
