Palaso Projects

When getting a project from the internet, Chorus now detects several common server error messages, and emits user-understandable messages.

These include the following scenarios:

• Authorization (got the account or password wrong)
• Project isn't where you think it is
• Something is keeping you from talking to the server (usually a firewall)
• The server itself is feeling sick.

Lift Bridge 1.0.1 has been released. It works with FieldWorks 7.1 (soon to be released). It won't work with earlier versions of FieldWorks. For now, Lift Bridge only works on Windows, but a Linux version is being worked on.

Randy Regnier has implemented basic LDML merging to Chorus. LDML is a standard for defining writing system definitions. Within SIL/Palaso, LDML (Unicode Locale Markup Language) is used by FieldWorks and WeSay. The current implementation doesn't attempt to merge collation rules.

Graphite2 has been formally released at v1.0.0. The only changes with previous beta versions are a slight modification of how and when the bidi pass is called and whether an application wants the bidi pass to run.

This package is the binary build of the android Graphite integration including a sample app with java source and binary libraries to link against. This package works on android 2.2 - 2.3.3 (API levels 8-10).

LiftBridge is a plug-in to FieldWorks Language Explorer which allows FLEx users to Send/Receive dictionary data with other FLEx users and WeSay users.

Chorus clients are now LiftBridge, WeSay, OurWord, & OneStory Editor. Randy Regnier is now working on the ambitious "FLExBridge" which will allow FLEx users to synchronize all of their FLEx data, including interlinear texts.

The 2.0 release of the GAFAWS Position Analysis program includes support for processing source data in one of four different formats:

• AMPLE's ANA style output file
• A plain text file with data in the prescribed format
• FieldWorks 6.0 (and lower)
• FieldWorks 7.0 New

Besides the addition of a new data input format, 2.0 also includes support for the remaining 2 areas of functionality from the Grimes book. These areas are:

• Cooccurrence Analysis New
• Component Subgraphs New
