I don't like very much "prototypes". They tend to stay in a corner, especially when we do not have dozens of developers. The two pairs that I propose, for example, have been published for 10 years and are clearly improvable, but nobody has done much for them in the last ten years. Corsican is, of course, a language that should be in Apertium. If Alessandra does not choose it, my intention is to adopt it next year. And I would not choose a Catalan-Corsican translator, because a French-Corsican or an Italian-Corsican seem more useful, as the first Corsican translator in Apertium. I've been looking at what we have in Apertium for Corsican. There's already quite a lot of work, which is very good news, for instance 13,800 nouns in the dictionary. It seems that the main verbal paradigms are already defined, however there are 32 vblex paradigms, while, for example, for Sardinian there are 60, for Portuguese 78 and for Italian 143. So, this in a very good start, but I think that a first Corsican project needs a GSoC project of its own. If strongly recommended, I may work on a translator from Corsican into French or Italian. In fact, I've quickly created a resource page in the Apertium wiki: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Corsican Best, Hèctor
