Don't know Norberto. I hope he sends you an object model. Maybe you're different but the blank sheet of paper is the hardest part of creating anything for me. > P.S. suggestions for a WordNet browser GUI in Squeak, anybody ? Typeahead for search, mouseover for everything in the WN archive, and an easy-to-extend model. I'm interested in poetry so one thing I've thought about is adding some of poetry's technical details to a word's information---syllables, stresses, rhymes, etc. With the right kind of interface, I could enter a poem I like and enter (some or all of) the information along the way, or just after. Half an hour at a time. >> On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 1:30 PM, Klaus D. Witzel wrote: >>> >>> Hi list, >>> >>> has anyone started with/plans for a browser for a WordNet lexical db in >>> Smalltalk?
