As much as I would enjoy NLG being mentioned in darcs, I'm not very comfortable with saying that we do NLG here. This can encompass a lot of potentially complex decisions: how do we order sentences, how do we group things into sentences [one sentence? two sentences?, which facts go in what sentence?], how do we refer to things [John? the man? him?], which words should we use, what order do we put words in (i.e. what is the syntax of English wrt to the sentence we want to say). A tool that figures out the right endings for words is useful to have in an NLG system (and I won't be surprised if the potential interaction between that tool and the rest of the system is more complex than people would expect), but to say very generally that we're providing NLG utilities is a bit of a stretch. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
