!!!Corpus gathering

OCR results with the new scanners are not too impressive. __Thomas__ will try to
learn more on how to improve the quality, if not we'll look for alternative OCR
software.

Which books are digitized?
* These books should be OCR'ed/digitized: Anna Jacobsens books
 ''Jupmele rïjhke lea gietskesne'',
 ''Luste lohkedh'', ''Duedtie Novrlaantesne'', ''Naestie-tjoevkesne'',
 ''Gullie-tjååtsele''.
* Its not digitized yet, should do it this week.

* plan for The Real Thing (__Trond, Sjur__)

!!!Infrastructure


!!VislCG 3

Everyone should have this one installed as well.

__TODO:__
* install VislCG3 (__Tomi__)
** try using the ICU package from MacPorts
*** done; new version of MacPorts solved it (probably a 32/64 bit issue)

!!Makefile + tag simplification

See newsgroup postings.

__TODO:__
# discuss and decide upon tag format (__linguists__)
## discussion closed - the last suggestion will be used
# convert comment tags to real lexc tags when the discussion is over (__Tomi__)
# adjust gt/Makefile to grep on the new tags such that the old make targets work
  (__Tomi__)
# add the new tags to the tags-not-save.regex file (this will remove them from
  the regular analyzer) => the transducers and their output should be identical
  to the earlier versions (__Tomi__)
# write new build commands (__Sjur, Tomi__)
# when the new build infrastructure works as it should, delete the old ones
   (__Sjur, Tomi__)

!!General list

To accommodate 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
# set up the Snow Leopard Server features for collaborative support:
## iCal server / group calendars
## wiki
# wiki? on G5 (is part of Snow Leopard Server) or other web-based documentation
# improve Forrest stability and i18n support ( the divvun crashes)
# 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
# corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
# update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target
  groups

__TODO:__
* get Bugzilla and Jabber back on the net (__Børre__)
** working on it using a test machine to try out different solutions
* consider making a GMail account for use as Jabber alternative
  (__Maja, Lene, Linda__)
** Maja is done
* ask Lene, Linda to install Mikogo (__Trond__)
* restructure and clean the {{script/}} directory, using subdirs to categorise
  the scripts (__Ciprian__)
** please act as suggested, cf comments in the news group
* infrastructure remake: (__Børre, Ciprian, Saara, Sjur, Tomi, Trond__)
** more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others)
** merge gt, kt and st into one
** modularised preprocess and spellrelax
** alternatives to make:
*** [SCons|http://www.scons.org/]
*** [makepp|http://makepp.sourceforge.net/]
*** [Maven|http://maven.apache.org/] (for java-projects)
*** [CMake|http://www.cmake.org/] - __Sjur__ looked at it, and have started to
    experiment
* make a test-all target that runs all tests we have (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__)
** delayed until we have restructured the make/build process
* define and document testing routines (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__)
** delayed until we have restructured the make/build process

!!!Linguistics

Hyphenation of loan words: __Thomas__ would like to have a meeting about this
with __Maja, Trond, Lene__. He will send an e-mail about it.

!!North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

!!Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

!!South Sámi

Numerals:
* Bergsland, and Spiik for smj as well: gøøkte luhkie gøøkte
* Majja, and Nickel for sme: gøøkteluhkiegøøkte
* Tronds interpretation: Bergsland and Spiik do not reflect the norm, but a
  pedagogical convention to make it easier for readers to understand
* Linguistically, joined writing is correct (ref: TO, the native southerner)
** done

Classification of pronouns etc:
# personal: manne "I", dïhte "he/she/it"
# demonstrative: daate "this one"
# determiner: daennie gåetesne "to that house"

This was discussed, and the issue is clarified.

Three types of problem areas:
* missing closed POSes: errors in transducer, or in PL conversion
* missing words found in the smanob dictionary: 110 verbs, 80 adjectives, all
  core {{sma}} words (__Cip__: this statistics is NOT complete, as far as I know
  Trond has forgoten to take the Swedish verb file into account!)
* missing list from corpus

We also seem to have problems with derivations:
{{{
jealadehtedh   jieliedehtedh	jieledh+V+Der1+Der/dehte+V+Inf
galmadehtedh   galmedehtedh	galmedidh+V+Der2+Der/ehte+V+Inf
}}}

__TODO:__
* Prepare text´s about normativity issue to SGL/SGM (__Maja, Thomas__)
* adjectives (__Maja__ with __Thomas, Trond, Sjur__)
** two competing naming conventions of continuation lexicons
*** One naming goes ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE
*** One follows the sme convention of naming key adjectives
*** There are duplicate lexica
** The comparative issue open here and there
*** The ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE lexica now go to EVENCOMP and
    ODDCOMP only.
* add compound tags (__Thomas__)


!!!Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure

__Tomi__ has played with [couchdb|http://couchdb.apache.org/] as a replacement
for eXist in risten.no and general dictionary-related work. Seems much lighter
and easier to work with.

Instead of building our own webforms and back-end update scripts, use XForms
with a premade connection to our xml db. Orbeon XForms is such a tool (open
source).

From the meeting with the terminology and IT teams last week:
* no major rework on the present search interface now
* no work on the editing section; instead:
* add existing lists of sanctioned terminology as separate term entities
* add a dictionary if we can make one with sufficient quality

This means the following tasks:
* find already approved lists, in paper or electronic form (__term team__)
* convert paper lists to electronic lists (__term team__)
* convert lists to standard XML (__Sjur, Tomi__)
* add prepared lists to risten.no (__Sjur, Tomi__)

__TODO:__
# send eXist log files to Ciprian (__Sjur__)
# 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

* sma:nob-swe
** ongoing: __Maja-Lisa__ is checking the entries on correctness
** ongoing: __Maja-Lisa__ is translating the missing words from her own diploma
   thesis into nob
** ongoing: synchronize data from dictionary with that from lexC files so that
   we are able to analyze everything from the dictonary (__Cip__: this should be 
   valuable for ALL dictionaries)
** __Maja__ priority list, in the following order:
*** pronouns - done
*** negation verb - not yet
*** copula
*** other closed POS'es?
*** translations of examples
* fkv:nob and nob:fkv
** started to work on them: waiting for __Verena__ to get rid of multiplied
   entries
* kom:fin-eng
** moved the original kom-lex.xml to the inc-dir and froze it
** split it by pos into the working_file dir, the ONLY place to work with
   the dictionary entries
** now, the lexC files are generated via XSLT sheets, no perl scripts
** adjusted the Makefile
** prepared the pipeline for compiling the mac dict
** todo: make a pipeline for StarDict also (as far as I know, __Jaska__ has)
   a Linux machine

__TODO:__
* set up risten.no on eXist/XServe (as a beta version site) (__Sjur__)
* set up required infra for smenob on risten.no/XServe (__Sjur__)
* Continue the dictionary infrastructure discussion (__Ciprian, Sjur, Trond__)
* end user documentation (how to download and install) (__Ciprian, Trond__)
* Contact ''Davvi Girji'' about cooperation on electronic dictionaries
  (__Sjur__)
* developing the mobile phone version of smenob:
** http://pfed.info/wksite/ 
* Komi
** take out the doublets to a separate file (__Ciprian__)
** merge the doublets (__Jaska, Trond__)
** Completing the automaton to some state (__Trond, Jaska, Paula__)
* compile Komi dictionary (__Cirian__)
* compile Kven dictionary (__Cirian__)
* correct {{sma:nob}} entries - see list above (__Maja__)

!!!Proofing tools

!!Testing

!Spelling Error Markup

__TODO:__
* test new and nested error markup (__Sjur__)
** nesting still needs to be tested, depends on new {{ccat}} feature

!Speller testing

__TODO:__
* test the error type selection feature in ccat (__Sjur__)

!Testing open-source Norwegian spellers

__Sjur__ has invited the open-source group to test their spell-checker using our
test bench. The response has been positive, we'll see what happens.

We should go to their developer meetings, and present our work and how to work
with language technology.

!!Speller bugs

List of bugs returned from Polderland:
* 621
* 630
* 652
* 656
* 676

Tag reordering for abbreviations have caused a lot of problems:
