> Since VISL is one of the most important actors in the computational
> processing of the Portuguese language, and most of the public
> resources available for Portuguese, through Linguateca, have benefited
> enormously from the annotation of the PALAVRAS parser, we have started
> a campaign with signatures and explanation of why VISL is important
> and recognized in our community. (Namely, the communitty engaged in
> the processing of Portuguese, in which Eckhard Bick is one of the most
> famous actors.)
>
> The site has been online for a week now, and we have already gathered
> a large number of signatures and expressions of support from all over
> the world.

> Still, if you have used or are using any of the resources provided by
> Linguateca which were benefitted by the annotation by PALAVRAS, I ask
> you to sign it as well, leaving in the comment field more information
> on how you used the tools and the resources and for what.
>
> For example,
> AC/DC, http://www.linguateca.pt/ACDC/,
> COMPARA, http://www.linguateca.pt/COMPARA/,
> CorTrad, http://www.fflch.usp.br/dlm/comet/consulta_cortrad.html
> and Floresta http://www.linguateca.pt/Floresta
> are prime examples of the importance of VISL cooperation.
>
> This is not to avoid – or prevent – that major actors in the
> computational processing of the Portuguese language write directly to
> the instances that Eckhard sent in – I have already done that, of
> course. The above-mentioned signature campaign is solely meant to ALSO
> show the importance of his work in a particular community.
>
> So please corpora-list members, distribute this information to all
> your colleagues that have not seen the announcements in the Portuguese
> lists but may feel that they owe this single gesture to VISL and
> Eckhard as well.
>
> I intend to send the result on Monday 27, so please -- those who have
> anything to do with Portuguese or with the use of the above-mentioned
> resources -- sign it until then.

>> Dear Eckhard
>> How horrible! This is really bad news. I am a great fan and certainly want
>> to help maintain VISL, but I think few people will have time to write
>> individually to the authorities you list. Maybe it would be more practical
>> if you circulated a petition, which people like me could then sign?
