Roadmap Questions about armnn

[MatthewARM]

Hi @Georg-W

Thank you very much for your interest, I hope that you are able to use Arm NN in your project.

1. I can't comment on internal roadmap discussions, but I will certainly pass on your interest. Roughly speaking, it's our goal to enable all kinds of ML applications by adding necessary features with a regular release schedule.
2. You can absolutely fork Arm NN and work on adding the support you need. Arm NN has a CPU-only execution path built in called 'CpuRef', where you can add support for new stuff without also having to add GPU code.
   At the moment we are unable to accept pull requests back in to ArmNN as we have not yet sorted out copyright, licensing, and other contributor arrangements. I hope to be able to report progress on this soon.
3. We don't have a 'contributor guide' or anything like that, but you can generate API documentation by runnning 'doxygen docs/Doxyfile' in the armnn directory.
4. See question 1. :-) We are certainly looking very hard at enabling DeepSpeech and other LSTM-based applications.
