Ideas for Google Summer of Code/FieldWorks data extraction

FieldWorks stores a lot of data of the sort that we want for building monodix.

Things we might be able to get:

• Lexicon entries
• Morphology
• Bidix entries
• Reference corpus / gold standards
• any number of things that might be extractable from glossed text

Coding Challenge

Write a script that reads a FieldWorks file and outputs the headword and part of speech of each lexicon entry.

Downloading FieldWorks and making up your own data to test this is fine (you'll probably end up doing a lot of it over the course of the project).
