"Look, it burns!" "It's called fire": Reinventing the Wheel
After a month of looking into Panlingua; I've noticed one thing.
*This system will probably take two years to implement*. For every
language we introduce; we'd have to either tweak or patch the parser
to support the language, and this isn't really the objective we (I
hope) have in mind. The time span for Panlingua's perfection is two
years (that's me predicting with 4 people working on it) but that's
expected to have a "ultimate" syntactical parser (that's why
Panlingua in its simplest form does, form link syntactical links).
This is me hoping that we can support English, French, Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), and Japanese. This
should give us enough experience to work on more editions.
how's Panlingua?
Currently, on my local branch of Panlingua can do one thing, and
it's a decent attempt; it can build syntactical links between nouns
and adjectives. For example, *The big blue dog* generates one link.
This link connects *This* to *dog* and modifies the relationship
with *big* and *blue*. This kind of information seems very trivial
but it's a start. I'm hoping to add another relation base that
allows the following: *This big blue dog is Bob*. That should create
the first as described and then another link that connects *Bob* and
*is* with the modifiers being *dog*. I think this is okay for now,
but I'll try to modify it so that if we query the modifiers of
*Bob*, *big* and *blue* are returned.
You can branch Panlingua for testing by branching
*lp:~wintermute-devel/wintermute/linguistics-experimental*. The
primary branch, *lp:~wintermute-devel/wintermute/linguistics* is not
to be pushed to as of yet.
AND There Was A Wormhole
*CRF++* <http://crfpp.sourceforge.net/> and *Freeling*
<http://garraf.epsevg.upc.es/freeling/> are two projects that seems
*very* efficient in terms of syntactical parsing. That's what we're
looking for Wintermute's linguistics. Wintermute relies *heavily* on
the linguistics being top-notch (as does most artificial
intelligence projects).

data, data, data
Wintermute needs a good database system. Scratch that, it needs a
perfect database system. Think of it as the perfect MySQL database.
In terms of data storage, retrieval and generation, a good
foundation ontological data might need be needed. Suggestions are
welcome.

ping 192.168.0.1 -r 256: Wintermute Intra-communications
I understand that it's a bit early for me to be discussing this, but
Wintermute will have to be able to transparently communicate with
the network, whether it be local or remote, in a clean fashion. This
is something to keep lodged in the back of your mind as you continue
to develop.
Interesting Reads
When Wintermute reaches certain levels, something described on this
site <http://www.cassimatis.com/polyscheme.html> would be very
interesting to implement behind the scenes, so to say. But on that
note, I bid you developers adieu. Please feel free to come to
*##sii-general* and *##sii-dev*. Also, I recommend that you
subscribe to this calendar
<http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ahhf02n48j0jnpgqld3p0rcbrk%40group.calendar.google.com>
to stay on top of the Synthetic Intellect Institute's events.
Tasks
*Now a great deal of the members of the Wintermute development team
either have not reported within a month or have just completed
disappeared*. So to remedy this issue, you all are *required* to
either reply to this message or enter *##sii-dev* within a week of
this e-mail's sending to maintain your status as a Wintermute
developer. It's a means of testing who's around and who's not. This
is required to prevent lurkers, a regulation upheld by the SII and
is visible on https://www.launchpad.net/~sii
<https://www.launchpad.net/%7Esii>. I know many have come to me
about tasks; our current server that's hosting our website does not
support Trac and I'd prefer if we hosted our software on our own
server so if anyone knows of a PHP + MySQL task management system;
please inform. Until then, *remain alert*.
