Please add a note to the README that this repo is unmaintained

• The birch dependency does not build on ruby >= 2.2: https://github.com/louismullie/birch/issues/11 ... I worked around this referencing this fork in my Gemfile: https://github.com/louismullie/birch/pull/12
• Installing treat via Bundler and attempting to run Treat::Core::Installer.install will nuke existing installs of nokogiri before attempting to install it. Treat's install attempt will fail and many of the other dependencies will fail. The gem does not seem to play well with existing apps (in this case Rails) that use bundler for managing gems.
• Even if I had been able to successfully install the gems above, the installer later attempts to pull down assets from an inaccessible server: https://github.com/louismullie/treat/issues/117 and https://github.com/louismullie/treat/issues/119

I respect the effort the maintainers have put into this project, but my searches suggested this was the leading NLP gem for Ruby and I just spent a considerable time just trying to get it installed without much success. Putting this here as a warning to others.

almost all the deps have been forked and updated.

gem 'birch', github: "billthompson/birch", branch: "birch-ruby22"
gem "treat", github: 'xiao0720/treat'
gem 'stanford-core-nlp', github: 'frankel/stanford-core-nlp'
gem "bind-it", github: "j-mcnally/bind-it"

Is what i've ended with so far, still having a few issues here and there. will keep yall posted.

@twelvelabs Just out of curiosity, which gem did you end up going with after all (and if...)?
