(__Leif Åge, Jovsset__) !!!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 # close certain parts of the svn code repository ## on the todo list # more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others) # merge gt, kt and st into one # 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: ## 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? # update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups SVN issues: * http access not yet available (https only at the moment, but it works as anonymous checkout if the user is ''not'' specified) * read access to the whole repo is working, BUT: ** {{gt/*/polderland}} should be protected ** {{plan}} should be protected * everything will be google-able by default if the repo URL is posted * 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 (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__) * define and document testing routines (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__) * add Jabber account in iChat for Lene (__Trond__) * follow-up migration to svn: ** close the open SVN repository at requested paths (__Ciprian__) ** rewrite {{.bashrc}} aliases geared towards cvs, if needed (__Trond__) ** prepare and discuss with external users: Jack Ruether (__Trond__) * try to repair G5 accounts for iCal Server (__Børre__) ** update the OS at the same time *** the G5 needs repair (__Børre__) !!!Linguistics !!North Sámi (nothing new, see proofing bugs below) http://giellatekno.uit.no/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=711 !!Lule Sámi (nothing new, see proofing bugs below) __TODO:__ * {{sme->smj}} lexicon conversion to build bilingual lexicon resources, and increase {{smj}} coverage (__Trond__). * Add the words when all words are ready. !!South Sámi __Jovsset__ has asked the authors whether we can get a copy of the Verbh manuscript in electronic form: The authors are willing to hand over the manuscript. They need to clear some questions with their publisher though. This far I have only recieved a positive response to my request. __TODO:__ * get the Verbh manuscript in electronic form (__Jovsset__) * hire a linguist (__Sjur__) !!!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. If ok, then: (__Sjur, Thomas, Trond__) # make terms-smX.xml <=== automatically from propernoun-sme-lex.xml (add {{nob}} as well) (the morphological section should be kept intact, in e.g. propernoun-sme-morph.txt) (__Sjur, Saara__) # convert propernoun-($lang)-lex.txt to a derived file from common xml files (__Sjur, Tomi, Saara__) # implement data synchronisation between [risten.no|http://www.risten.no] and the cvs repo, and possibly other servers (ie the G5 as an alternative server to the public risten.no - it might be faster and better suited than the official one; also local installations could be treated the same way) # start to use the xml file as source file # clean terms-sme.xml such that all names have the correct tag for their use (e.g. @type=secondary) (__Thomas, linguists__) # merge placenames which are errouneously in different entries: e.g. Helsinki, Helsingfors, Helsset (__linguists__) # publish the name lexicon on risten.no (__Sjur__) # add missing parallel names for placenames (__linguists__) # add informative links between first names like Niillas and Nils (__linguists__) !!Dictionaries __Ciprian__ has investigated dictionary making systems, looked at content management systems in xml format (also non-textual content). Goal: one dictionary per language, the update-one-base principle. Bi- and multilingual dictionaries with pointers, link from dictionary, linking between different monolingual dictionaries. For the users, the storage does not matter. __TODO:__ * look at our existing dictionaries (__Ciprian__) * sketch suggestions (__Ciprian__) * Continue the dictionary infrastructure discussion (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__) * clean up and generalise the make infrastructure * make Linux and Windows local/integrated versions * make simple installer applications * make a public release ** Make a homepage with instructions for dictionary use: {{xtdoc/gtuit/src/documentation/content/xdocs/dict.eng.xml}} ** Clarify the difference between local and online dictionaries: *** Plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer (online dictionaries) !!!Proofing tools !!Hunspell __TODO:__ # change license on distros to GPL2+ (__Børre__) # QA README and installation docs (__Trond__) # fix the remaining conversion bugs (__Børre, Tomi__) !!Testing !Spelling Error Markup __TODO:__ * Set up ways of adding meta-information (source info, used in testing or not, added to lexicon or not) (__Saara__) * test new and nested error markup (__Sjur__) !!Speller bugs List of bugs returned from Polderland: 621, 630, 652, 656, 676.
