7 different Oahpa!'s now in svn! The outcome of the Bodø seminar. It was a great

** Sjur, Tomi

Please read and comment in the newsgoup. Trond and Sjur will get the required
licenses.

__TODO:__
* install & configure the Unison news reader (__Sjur, Trond__)

!!Corpus interface

Made by Lars Nygård, UiT/Tekstlabben. Based on CWB from Stuttgart. Plus: made by
linguists; minus: too many bells and whistles. We need a scaled-down version
made for terminologists: baseforms, translations of baseforms, ...

Our corpus (that is, Oslo) is using [http://cwb.sf.net/].

A more user friendly interface is wished for before the Giellagiella
presentations. Deadline: end of April. We could base a very simple search form
on the code for [this VISL page|http://corp.hum.sdu.dk/].

__TODO:__
* make a simple web search form for the UiT corpus repository (__Ciprian, X__)
** before May
* check out the new version of CWB with Unicode support (__Ciprian__)
** fall

!!Makefile + tag simplification

__TODO:__
# test that the output from the new transducers is identical to the old one
  (__Tomi__)
# working session to go through the remaining issues: 16.3. (__Tomi, Sjur__)
# write new build commands (__Sjur, Tomi__)
# when the new build infrastructure works as it should, delete the old ones
   (__Sjur, Tomi__)

!!General list

* licensing of our source code
** the discussion goes on in news — needs to be finished soon
* fit repository:
** maintenance issues
** FOSS policy and communication of it
** what do we actually want to support?
** structure of repository

Trond will write an e-mail to the {{fit}} group explaining our situation.

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
# improve Forrest i18n support with static sites
# 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:__

*** [makepp|http://makepp.sourceforge.net/]

*** [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

* 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__)
