post-application period 3 - 24 May		finish coding challenge with WER ~10% trimmed coverage 45% total 250 stems in dix	4/5 good	coding challenge: WER ~9% trimmed coverage: 52%,48% stems in dix: 380	Demonstrated ability to add stems to dix and lexc. A couple easy lexical selection rules are still not written. Needs to learn more about other aspects of apertium and evaluation. —Firespeaker 06:45, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
community bonding period 27 May - 16 June		run first testvoc run coverage scripts get first frequency lists write ≥4 lexical selection rules write ≥2 transfer rules write ≥3 disambig rules note: should be in IRC every day	3/5 okay	— ran trimmed coverage script on a corpus took a look at frequency lists wrote 4 pairs of lexical selection rules wrote 4 variants of 1 transfer rule —	demonstrated ability to work with lexical selection rules demonstrated ability to work with transfer rules got only some experience with coverage scripts did not get experience with testvoc did not get experience with disambig rules was not around IRC frequently worked in bursts, did not spend a single long period of time —Firespeaker 02:28, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Tips and Tricks

Adding stems quickly

• Add top stems from frequency lists of unknown forms
• Use spectie's dix-entries-to-be-checked script
