GEvTerm beta test help request 1

Hi all Corpora List members!

GEvTerm is an initiative that hopes to become a place for a world-wide Internet community to submit and provide solutions to linguistic frustrations.  Currently the software is in early beta testing and we need your help.  As many of you may know, the developers and people that work most closely with software are the worst people to test the software.  Somehow we always seem to miss the bugs that others run into. 

Currently, one piece of the GEvTerm Initiative is available for use and testing.  That sub-project is called Food Name Variation or FooNaVar.  The goal of this project is to develop a database of a multitude of food items with names in various languages and to look at the variation of food names, like hot cakes vs. flap jacks vs. pancakes, within one language.  Using your feedback on usability, errors, and your other comments and suggestions we will modify the FooNaVar software.  Then when we feel we have FooNaVar stable and useable we will build on it as the model for the rest of the GEvTerm initiative. 

We will begin a 24 hour world wide beta test on Wednesday May
10th, 2006 at 00:00:00 UTC (GMT).  On May 10th, 2006 23:59:59 UTC (GMT)
we will temporarily take down the site so that we can process your
comments and begin making updates and changes.  Your help and input are
greatly appreciated.  To begin beta testing the site go to
http://www.gevterm.org  This page contains information about the
project and a link to the latest version of the web site
(http://www.ltacglobal.org/gevterm)  

There are several ways to
communicate with us.
1) A comment submission page located at http://ltacglobal.org/gevterm/reportError.php
2) Via email to gevterm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3) A contact page located at http://gevterm.org/contactus.php

There is also a link on the bottom of most pages of the website that reads "
Report an error or make a suggestion" and links to the comment submission page mentioned previously. This is the most efficient way of giving us feedback

Thank you again for your help and your feedback
