==== Description: ====
Grammaticus will provide a set of Natural Language Processing tools for
working with classical latin texts and computer-assisted language study. The
Perseus project (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/opensource) provides a
GPL-incompatible (Mozilla) web application which is able to perform several
NLP tasks (e.g. stemming, tagging, corpora analysis), but this web application
is 1) not free software (but "open source"), 2) inconvenient to use for
serious work since it is a web application, 3) not open to extension or
addition into a processing pipeline. Grammaticus seeks to provide a free
software alternative which can be used by itself or as a library in other
applications.

I have just begun work on Grammaticus, which is being written in Common Lisp.
It will be available as a LISP system (through asdf) and will also be
installable as a free-standing console-based application.


==== Other Software Required: ====
Currently, the only project dependency is on the unit-test framework:
cl-unit-test, which is under the MIT license

Project site: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cl-unit-test/
license: 
http://cl-unit-test.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cl-unit-test/trunk/LICENSE?revision=5&view=markup

As the project develops, no dependencies will be introduced which are not
compatible with the GPL.
