Development Frameworks |
There have been a number of efforts to create frameworks or libraries that make AGI |
programming easier. You will notice that several of these frameworks also appeared in |
Chapter 17. Just as with AMI, when evaluating a framework, we recommend you find |
one that meets the following criteria: |
Maturity |
Has this project been around for a few years? A mature project is far less likely to |
have serious bugs in it. |
Maintenance |
Check the age of the latest update. If the project hasn’t been updated in a few |
years, there’s a strong possibility it has been abandoned. It might still be usable, |
but you’ll be on your own. Similarly, what does the bug tracker look like? Are |
there a lot of important bugs being ignored? (Be discerning here, since often the |
realities of maintaining a free project require disciplined triage—not everybody’s |
features are going to get added.) |
Quality of the code |
Is this a well-written framework? If it was not engineered well, you should be |
aware of that when deciding whether to trust your project to it. |
Community |
Is there an active community of developers using this project? It’s likely you’ll |
need help; will it be available when you need it? |

Documentation |
The code should be well commented, but ideally, a wiki or other official docu‐ |
