Hi all!

My name is Carlos Menezes, I'm one of architects and
developers of CoGrOO (
http://cogroo.incu
badora.fapesp.br ), an open source Grammar Checker.
Currently, version 1.1 of CoGrOO is linked with OpenOffice
and corrects
Brazilian Portuguese texts.
Itaipu Binacional, the company that runs the largest
operational
hydroelectric power plant in the world, has adopted CoGrOO
in 70% of its
computer park (about 2,300 computers).
CoGrOO is being completely rewritten (version 2) to ease its
porting to
others languages. Its road map plains a port to English
language (and
Spanish too). We consider these versions of CoGrOO can
diffuse it.
But we need resources to do it. Below, there is a list of
tasks and
resources that we need to port CoGrOO 2 to another language:

- License for a good annotated corpus, like Penn Treebank
Corpus for English
language.
- A native-language English linguist (we estimate 250
hours-man of work):
 - Define what is the public target of this tool
- Estimate top-50 mistakes of this public target (maybe
native-speakers)
- Write simple rules, according to our templates, to detect
the most of
these mistakes
- Test rules in our prototype
- Refine rules
 - Developers (we estimate 650 hours-man of work):
 - Infra-structure improvements (300 hours-man)
- Implement the Corpus interface to the chosen corpus format
(100 hours-man)
- Implement the Tag interface to the chosen corpus syntax
- Generate dictionaries (50 hours-man)
    - Morphologic dictionary
    - Primitives dictionary
- Design the features to each OpenNLP module (100 hours-man)
- Train modules
- Test the NLP modules and adjust features if necessary
- In conjunction with the linguist, design and implement
rules to spot the
grammar mistakes in the texts (100 hours-man)
- Fine-tunning of the grammar analysis modules


Regards,

Carlos Menezes.

Hi Carlos,

I am Alexandro Colorado, Lead of the OpenOffice.org Spanish
community, I  
was aware of this implementation and we are more than
wishful to get this  
set up for OOo. However the spanish community has limited
amount of  
knoledgable technical members to make this transition. I am
glad that you  
are one of the core members of this implementation, we would
be more than  
happy to help you out on getting this in OOo.  I would also
want to extend  
you the invitation to join us at discuss_eses.openoffice.org this is a  
mailing list from our community.

We currently working on passing the localization through our
QA process so  
the final versions are completely localized from scratch as
well as  
translatiing the official OOo documentation.

Many Thanks.

Please keep in touch.
