1. Opening, agenda review

Started 10.05

2. Infrastructure:

• documentation system status - still issues open? Børre:
  • has written a how-to about installing Forrest, and started to write the how-to about writing and using Forrest as a documentation tool (menues and tabs)
  • disamb project will get its own Forrest structure today
  • divvun.no needs to be set up
• still UTF-8 issues?
  • Use only .profile! (no .bashrc)
  • sorting in cochise: Finnish-based now, put into .profile:

        export LC_ALL=se_NO.UTF-8
        (The locale will have to build it first with
        this command only once, by the superuser):
        localedef -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/se_NO -c -f UTF-8 se_NO.UTF-8)
        To test if the se_NO.UTF-8 locale works:
        cat text | LC_ALL=se_NO.UTF-8 sort | less
        ~/.emacs:
        (setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
        subtopic: Sámi sorting in emacs
    

  • kwic-snt does not align correctly with UTF-8. Does this work?: LC_ALL=se_NO.UTF-8 kwic-snt
• physical infrastructure - network for Thomas & Maaren? (still big problems in the Samediggi network, although things have improved)
  • news reading still not working
• CVS: many generated files not ignored - to be followed

3. Corpus gathering

More addresses gathered. Asked Anne Britt to send the letter now to the ones we have the address of. No response so far.

Finnish addresses still missing.

Thomas: called Anders Kintel, positive to share his work, but has legal questions. Thomas has sent Børre’s letter, will call him again.

4. Corpus infrastructure

Tomi has been reading Saara’s notes, and the CSC site, getting into the DTD now.

Will construct a tree of the document structure.

Tiger-XML: [http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/TIGER/]

TEI: [http://www.tei-c.org/]

Schema types:

• RelaxNG (simple format)
• XML Schemas (w3)

5. Linguistics

Working with Trond’s list and adjectives.

Normativity is still an open question in many cases. Orthographic status can (and should) be tagged in the disambiguator output. To be discussed.

6. Term db

• grammar(s):
  • North Sámi is roughly finished
  • Lule and South Sámi in the works
• db editing:
  • making progress, soon to be able to edit:-)

7. Other issues

• Tromsø trip for Maaren and Thomas: they would like to go. It’s good for the project, and they will continue the planning with Trond.
• Two students: Ilona working 15-20%, Lena (native speaker) will work on the verb lexicons.
• Meeting memos into the documentation, will thus be public. To be converted to wiki format

8. Summary, task lists

TODO:

• Sjur + Børre: set up divvun.no
• All: use only .profile (no .bashrc!) -> into the documentation
