165,000 Language Questions Now Available

The Pavlov Project, with help from The JDict project and the European software company Majstro Aplikajoj, is pleased to provide a set of huge language learning question books. These books are "bidirectional," so that, for example, the "English/French" book could be used by an English speaker to learn French or a French speaker to learn English. The files can be downloaded at the Pavlov Project Page.

A much larger set of books should be available in September 2004. All books are in XML/Unicode format and are distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Where's The Project Manager?

The Pavlov Project Manager, T.J. Willis, will be in Alaska, probably completely cut off from the Internet during July and August 2004. Direct emails will almost certainly not be answered during this time. Questions may be sent to the Pavlov Developer's Mailing List pavlov-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

BEE Editor Beta Release

BEE Logo (16 Feb 04) BEE is a tool to easily and efficiently create questions for Pavlov and store them in the framework of books and chapters provided by the Pavlov Book XML Document Type Definition. The best thing is that you don't have to know anything about XML to use BEE!

Of course, as an open standard, you can use any sort of XML editor you want (even WordPad in Windows, if you really want) to edit Pavlov Book files. But BEE is specially designed to let you spend less time editing and more time learning (or making your victims learn).
