+One of the main ideas of
+[GF ..]
+is the use of libraries in grammar writing, in a way familiar
+from software engineering. In this way, large grammars can
+be built in cooperation, and old grammars or parts of them 
+can be reused in new grammars. The slides
+[Grammars as Software Libraries resource-1.0/doc/gslt-sem-2006.html]
+give some introduction to this idea.
+
+
+
+==The resource grammar library==
+
+This library covers basic linguistic structures of 
+different languages.
+
+[Version 1.2 resource-1.0/doc] released 22 December 2006
+(enhanced version of 1.0).
+Covers Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, 
+Russian, Spanish, and Swedish, and to a smaller extent Arabic and Catalan.
+
+Two older versions are also available:
+[Version 0.9 resource/]
+and
+[Version 0.6 resource-0.6/]. 
+
+
+
+==The prelude library==
+
+The [prelude prelude/] 
+library gives utility functions for different GF applications:
+
+[Precedence resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Precedence.html]. Utilities for
+formal languages: precedence levels, associatives, infixes.
+
+[Predef resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Predef.html]. Type signatures
+of predefined (hard-coded) functions.
+
+[Prelude resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Prelude.html]. Generic utilities
+for strings, tables, records, booleans.
+
+
+==License==
