We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  Using IRC for Wizard-of-Oz testing?

A couple of months back my eye caught the title of a paper in the table of
contents of one of the journals LinguistList covers. The paper had something
to do with using a networked text-based interface (possibly the Internet
Relay Chat environment) to test the dialogue in a spoken dialogue system
using a form of the Wizard-of-Oz technique. For the life of me, I can't
remember the journal, the title or the author anymore. Even before I saw it,
I had been thinking of doing something similar with the dialogue of a system
I'm working on. Now I have the time to actively start doing something about
it, and I can't find the reference!

If this rings a bell with anyone out there, or if you know of any similar
projects, I would really appreciate your dropping me a line directly. The
usual summary will be posted.

Thanks a million!

I would like to insert maps in a couple of papers showing the locations of
different Amazonian languages. I wonder if anyone knows of a site on the web
from which maps that can be edited/accept inserts can be found? The maps
shouldn't contain much detail since the purpose is merely to give the
location of a specific language.

Thanks for any leads.

Best,

Dan Everett
