- There are a lot of changes occurring in the APIs of our supported data sources.  Due primarily to the EU's GDPR legislation, a user's ability to collect profiles and posts from accounts other than the authenticated account is being limited.

- More official examples in source tree demonstrating integration of Apache Streams with complementary technologies.
- Drop remaining maven dependencies on java SDKs for accessing third-party APIs in favor of HTTP/REST interfaces powered by Apache Juneau Remoteable Annotations.
- Improve the interfaces by which components are created, configured, activated, and executed via SDK and CLI.
- Reduce disparities between normalized activities and objects of like type collected from various data sources. 
- Reduce disparities between the configuration objects that initialize similar providers from various data sources.
- Add official support for Schema.org and Activity Streams 2.0 data types.
