This is a workplan for development efforts for the Maltese and Arabic translator in Google Summer of Code 2012.

Bidix-trimmed coverage means the coverage of the morphological analyser after being trimmed according to the bilingual dictionary of the pair, that is, only containing stems which are also in the bilingual dictionary (but omissions leading to generation errors do not change the trimmed coverage)
Testvoc for a category means that the category is testvoc clean, in both translation directions.
Evaluation is taking $n$ words and performing an evaluation for post-edition word error rate (WER). The output for those $n$ words should be clean.

1	~~21/05—27/05~~	50%	`<num>` `<pr>`	-	Basic numerals, and prepositions should be testvoc clean. Maltese verb scripts merged.
2	28/05—03/06	53%	`<cnjcoo>` `<cnjadv>` `<cnjsub>`	-	Create ar verb script based on mt, add ar open-class words according to frequency
3	04/06—10/06	59%	`<adv>`	200 words	Continue adding open class words to ar (adding to bidix/mt as you go)
4	11/06—17/06	63%	`<prn>` `<det>`	-	Monodix completion; closed classes (apart from verb-attached pronouns) should be testvoc clean.
5	18/06—24/06	68%	`<adj>`	-	Bidix expansion; bidix adjectives should be testvoc clean.
6	25/06—01/07	70%	`<n>` `<np>`	500 words	Midterm evaluation. Bidix expansion, multiwords.
