Subject:  for Query: 10.1395 Debugging Computational Grammars

Dear colleagues,

at the end of September I posted a query about references to the
problem of debugging computational grammars (LINGUIST List volume
10.1395).

First of all, I would like to thank all the people who responded to my
query: Gertjan van Noord, Bill Mann, Bill Fisher, Carolyn P. Rose, Ted
E. Dunning, Jean-Luc Cochard, Detmar Meurers, David McDonald,
Norbert Broeker, Shuly Wintner, Miriam Butt, Sascha Brawer, John
Carroll, John Maxwell, Stephan Oepen.

Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to assemble a structured and
coherent summary of the responses I received. I hope to do it very
soon. In the meanwhile I post a preliminary list of projects and URLs
relevant for the issue of grammar debugging (list extracted from the
responses received and through browsing on Internet).
