Greetings all,

The WordNet::Similarity mailing list has quietly climbed above 100
subscribers (there are now 109). I think this is a rather impressive
number, and certainly suggests that WordNet::Similarity is regarded as a
stable and useful tool. (And of course it should be regarded this way
because it is. :)

This is certainly a tribute to Sid and Jason - Sid who first built the
package we know, and to Jason who rebuilt it and added to it in many
significant ways. Indeed credit goes back to Bano as well, whose Leskian
algorithm really represented the start of this package even before we
understood that the lesk measure could be split apart from word sense
disambiguation!

Anyway, I just wanted to pass along this pleasantly surprising news
(about triple digit subscribers :).

Ted
