Intros to Esperanto
Perhaps http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Rules_of_Esperanto_grammar (or http://donh.best.vwh.net/Esperanto/rules.html) is a good overview.
And the affixes: http://esperanto.davidgsimpson.com/eo-affixes.html (short) http://steve-and-pattie.com/esperantujo/grparafx.html (longer)
Tenses are exlained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_grammar#Verbs

Test set
<jacobn> Jim, Fran: I just looked at http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html and to me is looks like that "carefully selected text" I was talking about a week ago which would be needed to define the most important features to get covered. <jimregan2> Jacob, it's ok <jimregan2> we already have carefully selected text for English :) <jimregan2> ALL + plural <jimregan2> ALL + adj + plural <jacobn> what do you think, is http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html + their translations to Esperanto suitable as test set? <jimregan2> as one test set, yes <jimregan2> I have another few, and I promise I'll get to them on Wednesday <jacobn> Jim, I would like to include a " carefully selected text for English" in the en-eo test set. Do you have a better suggestion than http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/batch.html ? <jacobn> Fine <jimregan2> heck - I'll even set a reminder :) <jacobn> no hast necessary <jimregan2> newspaper - type text is best <jimregan2> I'll grab a few chunks from different books at project gutenberg
