This has lead to a number of unidentifiable files, or files without known history or origin. Discussion to be held in the news group. ''Update:'' the news server were partially broken, but that is fixed now. We'll scan and OCR some of the {{sma}} texts we have received a license for. __David__ has talked to DAUM (__Marica Blind__), who said they can't give out any texts. __Thomas__, who has worked there, will talk to the boss __Ola Wennstedt__, to discuss the issue further. __David__ has also contacted the children of __Ella Holm Bull__, and has received permission to use her books. But they need to be scanned and OCR'ed, as none are available in digital form. __Jovsset__ has been discussing access to the list of verb baseforms from ''Verbh'' with one of the authors, but the issue is still open. Also discussed the translated text (see below). __TODO:__ * continue gathering {{sma}} corpus texts (__David, Jovsset__) ** __Jovsset__ is working on the Gun Utsi book, as well as the problematic book ** __David__ has spoken to a lot of {{sma}} students at UmeåU last week, and urged them to send us their texts; also spoke to the teachers; spoke to Maidi Steinfjell, wanted to write about our need for texts * gather 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 ** __David__ has spoken to __Ulf Stefan Winka__, who told him (David) that he had sent all he had to __Per-Eric__ - need follow-up to __Per-Eric__ (__Thomas__) * plan a {{smj}} pr tour for our tools (__Per-Eric, Thomas__) * meet with the Sámi publishers (meeting delayed) (__Jovsset__) * add incoming {{sma}} texts to the corpus rep (__Børre, Ciprian__) ** Ciprian would like to add some more automatisation to the corpus processing * make a 1-page, light version of the contract, also in Swedish (__Børre, David, Sjur, Trond__) * fix the ''Upload more'' link (__Børre__) ** done. __Trond__ has had another problem, __Børre__ already found the bug. * store SK data in svn: ** make proper folder (__Sjur__) *** done ** add data files (__Thomas__) *** done * discuss infra improvements for corpus rep administration (__Børre, Ciprian__) * contact the head of ''DAUM'' (__Thomas__) !!!Promoting Divvun __David__ has been interviewed by ''Länstidningen'', which last Saturday published the article. The web version is available [here |http://www.ltz.se/artikel_standard.php?id=558132&avdelning_1=101&avdelning_2=136]. __TODO:__ * Make a download log (__Børre__) * use a newspaper or something to write about the tools from an end-user point of view (a review in ''Š, Ávvir, Nordsalten avis''?) ** contact __Astrid Helander__ at ''Ávvir'' for a project interview (__Thomas__) *** written her a mail, she has not answered ** contact ''Nordsalten avis'' (__Thomas__) *** Nordsalten avis forwarded me to ''divte media as'', who translates their texts, written them a mail, have not got answer. ** contact ''Š'' (__Thomas__) * consider the best way to inform potential users in Sweden about the Divvun tools (__David__) ** __David__ has suggested to announce in ''Sáminuorat'' and ''Samefolket'' ** preferably get an article in the papers at the same time, about the project and the tools ** make an add for our tools to go into newspapers (__David, Jovsset__) * Prepare for a coordinated info campaign when Ped is ready (inform teachers about Divvun as well as Ped when we inform about Ped) - next year * Tour de Divvun (smj info tour) (__Thomas, Per-Eric__) ** fix the date ** make sure the leaflet is ready (see below) ** bring some CD's * make leaflet to inform about the project (__Jovsset, David__) ** first draft available at {{xtdoc/sd/src/documentation/content/xdocs/leaflet/leaflet.sv.jspwiki}} as well as [http://www.divvun.no/leaflet/leaflet.sv.html] ** translate text when it is finished (__Thomas, 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__) * contact MS Nordic, and ask them to include the Divvun tools in the next Office releases (both Windows and Mac). The integration can/should be done by Polderland, which is an official MS subcontractor/integrator. It could be used by MS as part of their advertising for the next releases, and it will make it much easier for people to get access to the tools. (__Sjur__) ** discussed with __A. Lona__. He said it would be difficult, even if we use Polderland. Another solution could be to enforce it through a political decision. !!!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 complet # 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.
