+<H2>Resource Grammar Implementations</H2>
+<P>
+GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource
+that currently covers 12 languages.
+The Library is a collaborative effort to which programmers from many countries
+have contributed. The next goal is to extend the library 
+to all of the 23 official EU languages. Also other languages
+are welcome all the time. The following diagram show the current status of the
+library. Each of the red and yellow ones are a potential project.

+<I>red=wanted, green=exists, orange=in-progress, solid=official-eu, dotted=non-eu</I>
+</P>
+<P>
+The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
+and basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications
+and also ported to other formats. It can also be used for building other
+linguistic resources, such as morphological lexica and parsers.
+The library is licensed under LGPL.

+<A NAME="toc2"></A>
+<H3>Tasks</H3>
+<P>
+Writing a grammar for a language is usually easier if other languages
+from the same family already have grammars. The colours have the same
+meaning as in the diagram above. Thus, in particular, each of the languages
+coloured red below are possible programming projects.

+skills, and a good explicit knowledge of the grammar of the target language. 
+A typical participant could be 
+</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>native or fluent speaker of the target language
+<LI>interested in languages on the theoretical level, and preferably familiar
+  with many languages (to be able to think about them on an abstract level)
+<LI>familiar with functional programming languages such as ML or Haskell
+  (GF itself is a language similar to these)
+<LI>on Master's or PhD level in linguistics, computer science, or mathematics
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+But it is the quality of the assignment that is assessed, not any formal
+requirements. The "typical participant" was described to give an idea of
+who is likely to succeed in this.

+<A NAME="toc4"></A>
+<H3>The Summer School</H3>
+<P>
+A Summer School on resource grammars and applications will
+be organized at the campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg,
+Sweden, on 17-28 August 2009. It can be seen as a natural checkpoint in 
+a resource grammar project; the participants are assumed to learn GF before
+the Summer School, but how far they have come in their projects may vary.

+<H3>GF interpreter in Java</H3>
+<P>
+The idea is to write a run-time system for GF grammars in Java. This enables
+the use of <B>embedded grammars</B> in Java applications. This project is
+a fresh-up of <A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/gf/gf-java.html">earlier work</A>,
+now using the new run-time format PGF and addressing a new parsing algorithm.
+</P>
+<P>
+Requirements: Java, Haskell, basics of compilers and parsing algorithms.

+<H3>GF interpreter in C#</H3>
+<P>
+The idea is to write a run-time system for GF grammars in C#. This enables

+<A NAME="toc8"></A>
+<H3>GF localization library</H3>
+<P>
+This is an idea for a software localization library using GF grammars.
+The library should replace strings by grammar rules, which can be conceived
+as very smart templates always guaranteeing grammatically correct output.
+The library should be based on the 
+<A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Language-technology/GF/lib/resource/doc/synopsis.html">GF Resource Grammar Library</A>, providing infrastructure
+currently for 12 languages.
+</P>
+<P>
+Requirements: GF, some natural languages, some localization platform
+</P>
+<A NAME="toc9"></A>
+<H3>Multilingual grammar applications for mobile phones</H3>
+<P>
+GF grammars can be compiled into programs that can be run on different 
+platforms, such as web browsers and mobile phones. An example is a
+<A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Language-technology/GF/demos/index-numbers.html">numeral translator</A> running on both these platforms.
+</P>
+<P>
+The proposed project is rather open: find some cool applications of 
+the technology that are useful or entertaining for mobile phone users. A 
+part of the project is to investigate implementation issues such as making 
+the best use of the phone's resources. Possible applications have 
+something to do with translation; one suggestion is an sms editor/translator.

+Requirements: GF, JavaScript, some phone application development tools

+<H3>Multilingual grammar applications for the web</H3>

+</P>
+<A NAME="toc11"></A>
+<H3>GMail gadget for GF</H3>
+<P>
+It is possible to add custom gadgets to GMail. If you are going to write 
+e-mail in a foreign language then you probably will need help from 
+dictonary or you may want to check something in the grammar. GF provides 
+all resources that you may need but you have to think about how to 
+design gadget that fits well in the GMail environment and what 
+functionality from GF you want to expose.
+</P>
+<P>
+Requirements: GF, Google Web Toolkit
+</P>
+<A NAME="toc12"></A>
+<H2>Dissemination and intellectual property</H2>
+<P>
+All code suggested here will be released under the LGPL just like 
+the current resource grammars and run-time GF libraries,
+with the copyright held by respective authors.
+</P>
+<P>
+As a rule, the code will be distributed via the GF web site.
