Saara has been looking at the functionality, added Vasta. Meeting memos can be found at [http://giellatekno.uit.no/ped/index.html#Meeting+memos] __TODO:__ * implement the UI and functionality (__Saara__) * get an easy-to-remember URL (__UiT/IT__) * More thorough skin, layout, ... (__External person within the Ped team__, __Internal forrest expert__) This we will postponed until later * Make a restricted speller ** Open for different speller versions, as part of the make rework (__Tomi__) ** Turn off peripheral compounds (numbers, acros, perhaps names, drop certain Px) (__linguists__) ** Increase editing distance by one for suggestions? Only possible with limited compounding (__divvun gang__) * Make a tailored speller for the pedagogical tools, containing only words used in the ped tools (suggestions limited to only words relevant to the context) !!Spellers for pedagogical purposes We plan two different spellers, the restricted speller and the ped-game speller. The restricted speller is the one for our collegue's daughter. Before we can make these two, we will wait for a rework of the infrastructure (see below, and see the speller point) Word domains for the pedagogical game speller the words of the generated clause (relevant for spellchecking closed answers) the sets of words which may be generated (irrelevant) the open answers (relevant for checking open answers) Before we make any derived speller we want a major rework our of set of speller Makefiles. Three variables in free variation: * language * target speller engine (hunspell, polderland, ...) * scope/vocabulary (speller variety, standard or restricted) We need to rework our make infrastructure to be able to parametrize over all these variable (and possibly subclasses within them). Presently the two first ones are already parametrized, but the make structure does not allow easy parameterization of the third one. !!!Documentation __TODO:__ * start to reorganise the documentation (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) !!!Corpus gathering __TODO:__ * follow up on {{sma}} corpus texts (__Sjur, Jovsset__) * follow-up on the {{smj}} texts from __Kurt Tore__ (__Per-Eric__) * other contacts: ''Nord-Salten avis'' (__Børge Strandskog__), Lena Davidsson daughter to Lars-Matto Tuolja * __Ulf Stefan Winka__ has a lot of {{smj}} texts (__Per-Eric__) * plan a {{smj}} pr tour for our tools (__Per-Eric, Thomas__) * meet with the Sámi publishers; main topics: (__Jovsset__) ** present the present project (Divvun II) ** discuss inclusion of our contract in theirs (DG and Čálliid Lágádus already positive) ** present the electronic dictionary sme-nob, with "inflectional intelligence" ** also regular contracts, and how to make faster progress with them, especially for the south sami and julev sami publishers since we have few texts in these two varieties. ** prepare meeting with __Børre__ (__Jovsset__) * make leaflet to inform about the project ** write text (__Sjur__) ** translate text (__Thomas, Jovsset__) ** talk to __John Marcus Kuhmunen__ about layout, pictures (__Jovsset__) ** talk to __John Marcus Kuhmunen__ about printing (__Jovsset__) * distribute CD version through the library bus, the language centres and common sami centres in all of Sápmi. Gaaltije in Östersund for example. (__Leif Åge, Jovsset, Sjur__) !!!Future plans, directions and ideas See a separate document in {{plan/strat/5year.jspwiki}}. !!!Infrastructure To accomodate future enhancements in different directions (in rough order of importance): # test bench for all parts of our language technology efforts ## test bench enhanced, but not yet complete # migrate to svn ## done # close certain parts of the code repository (requires svn) # more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others) # merge gt, kt and st into one, probably after the svn move # set up the Leopard Server features for collaborative support: ## permanent chat rooms ## stored (and indexed) chat transcripts of the chat rooms ## iCal server / group calendars ## wiki # wiki? on G5 (is part of Leopard Server) or other web-based documentation # improve Forrest stability and i18n support ( the divvun crashes) ## __Sjur__ has been working on better i18n and pdf rendering ## __Børre__ has some ideas for getting back to serving static html files # reorganise the documentation content: ## differ between target groups ## get better grouping ## decide what to write in forrest and what in wiki (cf. Apertium (http://www.apertium.org/ and http://xixona.dlsi.ua.es/apertium/) for a similar split) ## update/add missing parts # migrate lexc lexicons to XML, splitting the task ## Name lexica (the Name project) ## Dictionaries (already in XML, task is to integrate them) ## At least migrate the lexc open POSes (Komi as a pilot case) # change the look of the documentation web # sfst? Both as replacement for xfst and for hunspell/open-source proofing tools # investigate the NSIS installer, potentially replacing the InstallShield package from Polderland # corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? SVN issues: * root/prooftools not available - fixed (somehow) * http access not yet available (https only at the moment, but it works as anonymous checkout of the user is ''not'' specified) * read access to the whole repo is working, BUT: ** gt/smX/polderland should be protected * everything will be google-able by default if the repo URL is posted * plan should be protected? * certain users need to be on the UiT VPN to be able to commit (bug #705) __TODO:__ * make a test-all target that runs all tests we have (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) * define and document testing routines (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) * add Jabber account in iChat for Lene (__Trond__) * follow-up migration to svn (__Børre, Sjur, Trond__) ** rewrite {{.bashrc}} aliases geared towards cvs, if needed (__Trond__) ** prepare and discuss with external users: Meänkieli group, Greenlandic group, Jack Ruether (__Trond__) *** Meänkieli and Greenlandic done, amerikan-jaska still to do * try to repair G5 accounts for iCal Server (__Børre__) ** update the OS at the same time !!!Linguistics !!North Sámi (nothing new, see proofing bugs below) !!Lule Sámi (nothing new, see proofing bugs below) __TODO:__ * {{sme->smj}} lexicon conversion to build bilingual lexicon resources, and increase {{smj}} coverage (__Trond, Svenne__). * Add the words when all words are ready. !!South Sámi __Jovsset__ will ask the authors whether we can get a copy of the Verbh manuscript in electronic version, with the usual corpus contract. __Sjur__ is in the process of finding a linguist to hire. !!!Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure __TODO:__ # fix i18n bug in risten.no/G5 (so they will work without the proper locale request) (__Sjur__) # fix bugs in lexc2xml; add comments to the log element (__Saara__) # finish first version of the editing (__Sjur__) # test editing of the xml files.
