+<H2>What is GF</H2>
+<P>
+GF, Grammatical Framework, is a programming language for
+<B>multilingual grammar applications</B>. It is
+</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>a <B>special-purpose language for grammars</B>, like
+  <a href="http://dinosaur.compilertools.net/yacc/">YACC</a>,
+  <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/">Bison</a>,
+  <a href="http://www.haskell.org/happy/">Happy</a>,
+  <a href="http://bnfc.digitalgrammars.com/">BNFC</a>,
+  but not restricted to programming languages
+<LI>a <B>functional programming language</B>, like

+  <a href="http://www.smlnj.org/">SML</a>,
+  <a href="http://schemers.org/">Scheme</a>,

+<LI>a <B>development platform for natural language grammars</B>, like

+  <a href="http://www.issco.unige.ch/en/research/projects/regulus/news.shtml">Regulus</a>,
+  but based on functional programming and type theory
+<LI>a <B>categorial grammar formalism</B>, like
+  <a href="http://www.loria.fr/equipes/calligramme/acg/">ACG</a>,
+  <a href="http://openccg.sourceforge.net/">CCG</a>,
+  but specialized for multilingual grammars,

+  <a href="http://coq.inria.fr/">Coq</a>,
+  <a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/hvg/Isabelle/">Isabelle</a>,

+<li>a <b>platform for machine translation</b>, like
+  <a href="http://www.statmt.org/moses/">Moses</a>,
+  <a href="http://www.apertium.org/">Apertium</a>,
+  but based on deep structural analysis (and usually applied for

+<P>
+GF was first created in 1998 at
+<A HREF="http://www.xrce.xerox.com/">Xerox Research Centre Europe</A>,
+Grenoble, in the project
+Multilingual Document Authoring. At Xerox, it was used for prototypes including
+a restaurant phrase book,
+a database query system,
+a formalization of an alarm system instructions with translations to 5 languages, and
+an authoring system for medical drug descriptions.
+</P>
+<P>
+Later projects using GF and involving third parties include, in chronological order,
+</P>
+<UL>

+about GF at XRCE</a>, 
+14 years later.
+
+<P>
+Academically, GF has been used in at least ten PhD theses and resulted
+in more than a hundred
+scientific publications (see <A HREF="doc/gf-bibliography.html">GF publication list</A>).
+</P>
+<H2>Programming in GF</H2>
+<P>
+GF is easy to learn by following the <A HREF="doc/tutorial/gf-tutorial.html">tutorial</A>.
+You can write your first translator in 15 minutes.
+</P>
+<P>
+GF has an interactive command interpreter, as well as a batch compiler.
+Grammars can be compiled to parser and translator code in many different
+formats.  These components can then be embedded in applications written
+in other programming languages. The formats currently supported are:
+</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>Haskell
+<li>Java, in particular the Android platform
+<LI>JavaScript
+<LI>Speech recognition: HTK/ATK, Nuance, JSGF
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+The GF programming language is high-level and advanced, featuring
+</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>static type checking
+<LI>higher-order functions
+<LI>dependent types
+<LI>pattern matching with data constructors and regular expressions
+<LI>module system with multiple inheritance and parametrized modules
+</UL>
+
+<h3>Getting help</h3>
+<p>
+If you need some help with GF, the first places to start are the <a href="doc/tutorial/gf-tutorial.html">Tutorial</a> and <a href="doc/gf-refman.html">Reference</a> pages.
+The printed <a href="gf-book">book</a> contains all the material in the tutorial and some extra bits, and is the recommended reference for GF.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We run the IRC channel <strong><code>#gf</code></strong> on the Freenode network, where you are welcome to look for help with small questions or just start a general discussion.
+IRC logs (in raw format) are available <a href="irc/">here</a>.
+If you have a larger question which the community may benefit from, we recommend you ask it on the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/gf-dev">mailing list</a>.
+</p>
+
+<H2>Libraries</H2>
+<P>
+Libraries are at the heart of modern software engineering. In natural language
+applications, libraries are a way to cope with thousands of details involved in
+syntax, lexicon, and inflection. The
+<A HREF="lib/doc/synopsis.html">GF resource grammar library</A> has
+support for an increasing number of languages, currently including
+</P>
+<ol class=languages>
+<LI>Afrikaans
+<LI>Amharic (partial)
+<LI>Arabic (partial)
+<LI>Bulgarian
+<LI>Catalan
+<LI>Chinese
+<LI>Danish
+<LI>Dutch
+<LI>English
+<LI>Estonian
+<LI>Finnish
+<LI>French
+<LI>German

+Adding a language to the resource library takes 3 to 9
+months - contributions
