!! Meeting with the teacher
Megan has talked with Dorothy and here are some key words from the discussions:
* dealing with TA/TI forms (inverse forms), how to do that
* more instructions are needed
* MorfaC: some weird centences, e.g. plural mothers and fathers
* Numra: "mina" was missing in Money
* Leksa: more semantic fields in the menu
* NA and NI instead of AN and IN
* ''s/he'' as stat="pref"
* itwêwina is good

The solution of these questions comes later in this document.

!!itwêwina 

itwêwina accepts and generates with hyphens and without hyphens
* niki-nohte-kakwe-nipan
* nikinohtekakwenipan

!Todo:
* __Antti__: check with Ryan treatment of preverbs in translation search

!! Implementation on the gtoahpa server
Possibly creating demo directly on the proper server? Many things needed to be redone.

Open issues - much TODO:
* audiofiles now missing from the section selection (__Lene__ will talk to Ryan)
* New French files will be generated from original src files (no hurry)
* hints are now working, but will need scrutiny and further development based on user experience.
** __Lene__ will do some improvements based on discussions in the meeting
* instructions can be improved in the files in
** crk_oahpa/crk_drill/templates/ (You can discuss with __Ryan__ if you need help)
* NA/NI and s/he (__Megan__)
* __Lene__ will improve Numra, but Megan sends an email with details
* semantic fields (__Megan__)
** meta/semantic_sets.xml 
** crk_oahpa/crk_drill/forms.py

__Megan__ will restrict the selection of nouns to MorfaC tasks by adding more
semantic classes:
