!! On vacation last week

!Børre
* On vacation, issues from last week repeated at the end of the memo

! Maaren
* On vacation, issues from last week repeated at the end of the memo

! Thomas
* On vacation, issues from last week repeated at the end of the memo

!!!3. Documentation - divvun.no

!! crontab

Tomi has made a CVS update script, but it is not automatized yet => crontab
is missing. Børre will take over this task.

!! wiki + UTF-8

There's no wiki support in the official site => noone can read our weekly
meeting memos.

This works using linux:

{{{
export LC_ALL=no_NO.UTF-8
forrest run
}}}

It is unclear if we are able to do the same using Mac OS X.

It ''should'' work irrespective of the locale of the host OS, and the above is
really a hack to work around a bug in Forrest/Cocoon or the JSPWiki reader (Chaperon).

!! status.xml & RSS feed

Sjur has added support for status.xml, which implies RSS news feeds of the changes
we document.

We will for the time being not use the todo section, as our weekly memos and Bugzilla
provides enough feedback and support for our tasks, and what needs to be done. Eventually
it could be used for more long term goals that do not fit within usage of Bugzilla
and meeting memos.

Regarding the changes section, have a look, and start using it. The RSS newsfeed is
an excellent tool for keeping interested persons and parties up-to-date with little
or no effort on their part. Documentation can be found
at [Status.xml how-to|/doc/tools/forrest-status.html]

!! Forrest

Forrest 0.7 is officially released. The HEAD of the trunk seems to be unstable wrt
creating war files. Be careful!

!!!4. Corpus gathering

Add the Oslo license model to xdocs/adm/legal/. Then we will start to compare, and
work out our own license text.

!!!5. Corpus infrastructure

!! Directory structure

Not optimal. Tomi will continue looking for good examples of internal dir structure.

!!catxml

Updated to use the language of the pwd as default when extracting corpus texts.

!!!6. Speller infrastructure

!!Common Makefile

We should finalize a common and language-independent Makefile as a prerequisite
for the speller infrastructure, such that what we do for building spellers for
North Sámi will automatically be available to other languages.

Saara Huhmarniemi is a makefile expert, but she isn't back at work yet. Maybe we postpone
the makefile makeover till she is back.

!!Aspell

We will soon have the unrestricted Xerox tools, and we'll then be able to generate
the word list for Aspell. What we need then is the infrastructure to go from a word
list to an Aspell dictionary. This should be high priority ahead of the Helsinki
demo.

First version: simple word list based speller, word list generated by the Xerox tools.
Makefile target should be something like "make aspell", with the final, ready to use
files in a build directory.

!!!7. risten.no

Sjur will continue to use some time on the following issues:

* more bug fixing
* a couple of critical features still needs to be added

!!!8. Other issues

!! CVS Mailing

CVS mailing works to the local accounts on cochise, but forwarding isn't working
for all of us. Tomi just received a mail daemon message, saying "no route to host",
thus undelivered e-mail for trond.trosterud@helsinki.fi, sjur.moshagen@kolumbus.fi and
sjurnm@mac.com.

Sjur will follow up on this one.

!! Helsinki gathering

! Dates

Thomas did not want to go earlier. We extend the meeting with a technical day
on Monday, and all of us on Tuesday. Thomas can then travel on Monday, as originally
planned.

Dates now also confirmed with Børre. Thus decided:

* technical meeting day: Monday Aug. 29
* general meeting day: Tuesday Aug. 30
* all travel back on Saturday Sep. 3

! Demo

We will get the Xerox tools. See above under Speller Infrastructure for more
details.
