+
+
+</p><h2>What is GF?</h2>
+
+The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type
+theory. It consists of 
+<ul>
+  <li> a special-purpose programming language
+  </li><li> a compiler of the language
+  </li><li> a generic grammar processor
+</li></ul>
+The compiler reads
+GF grammars from user-provided files, 
+and the generic grammar processor performs
+various tasks with the grammars:
+<ul>
+  <li> generation
+  </li><li> parsing
+  </li><li> translation
+  </li><li> type checking
+  </li><li> computation
+  </li><li> paraphrasing
+  </li><li> random and exhaustive generation
+  </li><li> syntax editing
+</li></ul>
+GF particularly addresses two aspects of grammars:
+<ul>
+  <li> multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
+  </li><li> semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
+       properties of expressions)
+</li></ul>
+GF Version 2.0 adds the aspect of
+<ul>
+<li> modularity and grammar engineering.
+</ul>
+GF is open-source software licensed under 
+<a href="LICENSE">GNU General Public License (GPL)</a>.
+
+
+
+<h2>Examples and demos</h2>
+
+<a href="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/gf/translate/">Numeral
+translator</a>: recognizes and generates 
+numbers from 1 to 999,999 in 80 languages.
+(The link goes to a live applet, which requires 
+<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp">Java 1.5 plugin</a>. 
+Here is an <a href="doc/2341.html">example</a>, which does 
+not require the plugin.)
+
+<p>
+
+<a href="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/%7Ekrijo/gramlets/letter-applet.html">Letter 
+editor</a>: 
+write simple letters in English, Finnish,
+French, Swedish, and Russian with a few mouse clicks.
+
+<p>
+
+<a href="lib/resource/doc/gf-resource.html">Resource grammar library</a>: 
+basic structures of ten languages
+(Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish).
+Resource grammars can be used as libraries for writing GF
+applications,
+but they can also be useful for language training.
+
+
+<h2>Executable programs</h2>
+
+GF is available precompiled for
+several platforms: Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Sun OS.
+For more information, see the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132285">Download Page</a> (at SourceForge).

+
+<h2>Source code</h2>
+
+The main part of GF is written in
+<a href="http://www.haskell.org/">Haskell</a>.
+
+<p>
+
+The platform-independent graphical user interface is written in
