CogChar Workspace Home

Cog Char is an open source (Apache license 2.0) software stack for empathetic cognitive characters that live in the minds of our robots, on our websites, and in our movies and gizmos as well.

The public website for our project is: www.cogchar.org

Cogchar is part of glue.ai which provides an extensive set of documentation in the form of online google-docs and other resources.

See the OpenSrcGlue tree of documents.

Our binary software is hosted by Maven Central (aka. Sonatype Professional - Open Source edition).
You can use Maven to automatically download and install desired software using pom.xml files - ours or yours.
You can browse online Javadocs and Scaladocs through the links found here:

We divide our wiki docs into these top categories:

CogCharProjects - (Relatively) up-to-date list of current maven projects, defining what they are for and giving a quick status summary. For a quickstart, read CogCharProjects and then CodeBuildRun.
CogCharFeatures - Application features, focusing on infrastructure needed for cognitive characters in virtual and physical worlds (motion, speech, vision, etc.).
CogCharPlatform - Our technical architecture, from a software developer's perspective (OSGi modules, Avro serialization, RDF semantics, MIDI integration, Scala extensions, building with Netbeans and Maven, etc.)

We manage our project using this workspace where you can review+download our code and documents. If you find what you think is a new bug (after reviewing existing tickets), or in cases of dire need of help, you can create support tickets to communicate with our team, which we respond to on a best-effort basis when that dang hound aint barkin at somethin already.

The cogchar-users google group is a public forum for discussion of Cog Char installation, use, and adaptation.

If you would like to join our project and have rights to commit changes, please create a support ticket introducing yourself. (You will need to start by creating an Assembla account, if you don't have one).
