<br>
The 2004-2008 package will be announced within a couple of weeks

<pre wrap="">Hi Samir.
There are several large evaluation campaigns that have/had QA tasks:
- CLEF (European languages and more) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.clef-campaign.org/">http://www.clef-campaign.org/</a>
- FIRE (Indian languages and more) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.isical.ac.in/~clia/">http://www.isical.ac.in/~clia/</a>
- NTCIR (Asian languages and more) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/index-en.html">http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/index-en.html</a>
- TREC (English and more) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trec.nist.gov/">http://trec.nist.gov/</a>
Your choice will depend on the language you are looking for, which I
cannot guess :-)
They normally provide corpora and question-answer pairs for these corpora.
Greetings
Sven
