Hello fossians It is a nice opportunity to install apertium in our pc before Jacob going home very soon. Can some one help me to arrange a foss kaa kuraa as soon as possible?

Apertium got 9 slots in Google Summer of Code. That means in total 40500 USD will be going to students (at any level) working on Apertium. Most probably 4 (perhaps 5) of these 4500 USD grants will go to making new language pairs (this will be finalized tomorrow). I really hope that next year, some of these money will go to Nepalis, for making a Nepali language pair (nepali-newari, nepali-hindi or nepali-esperanto would be easiest, nepali-english much harder). Certainly any language pair with Nepali involved would get a strong support from the Apertium mentors. Personally I think this just makes in even more obvious that access to Dobhase for direct use (in this case a GPL license would be needed) or indicect use.(just access to the files) to Apertium would be a great help for all. 2009/4/17 Bal Krishna Bal <[email protected]> > > > >> Bal, that's because you have checked out the whole big bunch of software >> of Apertium. >> Actually you only need to checkout 3 things: >> - apertium/lttoolbox/ >> - apertium/apertium/ >> - a language pair, f.ex apertium/apertium-ne-en/ >> >> If you actually have succeeded in checking out the whole, then thats >> definately a proof that MPP's internec connection is OK :-) >> >> Anyway, I can bring a ZIP file with the necesary parts of the repository. >> >> > Bringing a ZIPed file with the necessary parts of the repository should be > the optimum variant. > OK. I can bring that.

If less I propose you just come to my home (in the afternoon there will also be my 2 year and 4 year old kids, so I might be distracted, but on the other hand I have the bandwidth). -- Jacob Nordfalk Venu al la plej granda kultura evento en esperantujo: Kultura Esperanto-Festivalo - la 7a ĝis la 12a de julio 2009 - http://kef.saluton.dk एस्पेरान्तो के हो? http://www.esperanto.org.np/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
