Hello,

I am away on holiday until the 7th-8th. I've copied your question to the
apertium-stuff mailing list. I would recommend subscribing there.

Dear Mr Tyers,

I am writing to you because I am interested in working on Apertium through the 
Google Summer of Code program. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student at Smith 
College, MA, USA, majoring in Computer Science and Astronomy. My strongest 
programming languages are Java and Python, but I am also familiar with IDL, 
HTML, CSS, Javascript, Matlab, Objective-C, etc. I am also taking an NLP course 
this semester.

Specifically, I am interested in the task of creating assimilation evaluation 
toolkit, but I have some questions about it.

1) I'm not sure how the files with the source sentences are obtained. Are they 
hand-crafted / auto-generated? Or are they taken from the same texts used in 
creating the dictionaries? 

2) Does "reference translation" mean sentence translated by human, and is it in 
target language?

3) Will all the possible combinations of information be compared? i.e.
just the reference translation / source sentence + reference translation / 
machine translation + reference translation / all three ?

4) I was thinking of using Python for this, is that alright? I will be happy to 
use (and learn if needed) other languages as well.

I am also worried that I have not participated in open source projects before, 
so any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.
Kris.
