We plan to organize a summer school with the goal of implementing the GF
resource grammar library for 15 new languages, so that the library will
cover all the 23 official EU languages of year 2009. Also other languages
chosen by the participants can be covered. The current library comprises 12
languages.

that currently covers 12 languages.

as a Chalmers course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation
will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the
