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

!!!Linguistics

!!North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

!!Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

be in use in print, at least.

__TODO:__
* Prepare texts 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.

* 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__)

   a Linux machine
* set up risten.no on eXist/XServe (as a beta version site) (__Sjur__)

with language technology.

!!Text to speech

__TODO:__
* put together the preprocessing transducers and scripts (__Tomi__)

A-ITE is working, and seems to do its job ok. The testing has involved too
little text to really test the TM functions, but simple text matching seems to
work. Also Apertium integration is possible, making it possible to use MT
directly within A-ITE.

__TODO:__
* update and test (__Ciprian, Sjur__)
** done
* test Apertium integration (__Ciprian, Sjur__)
