I see - I'd definitely like to see what you have so far.
I'll send you a tarball. Since it seems you have been using Xerox tools you will also be able to compile our stuff. The documentation is found under "TechDoc" at our site.
And I understand about the Xerox stuff. There's a similar situation for Irish - a morphological analyzer was developed at the Irish Linguistics Institute (ITÉ) with the Xerox tools.
Yes, I know Elaine very well, since we both use Xerox tools we did some cooperation work during development phase. Send her my greetings if you meet her.
I developed a separate, completely open source version to use for my grammar checking stuff.
If what you made for Irish is based upon her code, but uses open- source compilers (or whatever), than you already did what we would like to do. We would thus be interested in seeing in what way you have utilized her stuff, and if you could send us your separate, etc. version, we would be interested in looking at it.
So as long as you make the Sámi transducer sources available freely, I'm satisfied (and I'll be excited to look at what you've done since I have a particular interest in morphology).
Feedbacks welcome.
My code is designed to work with an existing Xspell package (even if it amounts to a simple word list with no affix file, which is how most languages start out). So for me to offer any non-trivial help I'd have to work your transducer into my system, which mightn't be too hard if you're interested.
The divvun project made an Xspell version (alpha version, no compounding) in august, it was not done without difficulties, and also here we would be interested in input.
OK, well just sending you raw data is the easiest thing for me! Let me know.
Nothing could be better than copies of what you have. Børres address is boerre@skolelinux.no.
Trond.
