Dear Sirs, I am grateful for your valuable feedback and suggestions.
I have updated my proposal based on the inputs given by you. The split-up of the deliverables on the ideas page indeed helped me understand the requirements more clearly.
The link to my updated proposal is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Karthikprasad/gsoc2012proposal
I request you and everyone to kindly skim through my proposal once again and suggest changes/additions. I am very excited about this project and working with you; and truth be told, 23rd April seems like ages ahead.
Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Karthik

You do understand correctly!
The main idea about NLP components is with POS tagger as an example:
- a fall back system that does unsupervised POS tagging.
- the ability to plug in an existing POS tagger as these become
available for specific languages.
I would as supervisor would recommend working with 3 languages. English, Hebrew, and the GSOC native language.
If we could get QA from other native speakers we would incorporate them into the workflow.
I think that by using a deletion/reversion based heuristic we may also be able to make a spam corpus to boost the accuracy of the corpuses.

Hello, I am a GSoC aspirant and have compiled a proposal for one of the project ideas - Wikipedia Corpus Tools. [Mentor : Oren Bochman] I would sincerely appreciate if you could kindly go through it and suggest corrections/additions so that I can settle with a coherent
proposal.
Link to my proposal : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Karthikprasad/gsoc2012proposal
Nice, but why only English?
If i understand the proposal correctly, this project is supposed to be able to work with almost any language with very little effort.

The main idea about NLP components is with POS tagger as an example:
Just to make sure, POS = part of speech, isn't it?
It's one of the most confusing TLAs in computing :)
If we could get QA from other native speakers we would incorporate them
into the workflow.
Good. As long as there is a way to plug other languages and a way for speakers of other languages to contribute QA, i'm very happy.

Amir,
Thank you for your GSOC proposal! :)
Between now and Google's submission deadline on April 6th - you are
invited to further modify your proposals. The GSOC page on MW.org - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GSOC - and our IRC rooms - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC
Looking over your proposal - I think you've got good background
information on yourself. However, I think you should flush out more details on the proposed project. Without more familiarity with corpus (and with no links to find that info) - it's hard for everyone to weigh in equally or to make sure your project gets the full consideration you'd like.

This looks much more in-depth and helpful. I think your best next step is to, if you haven't already, connect with potential mentors and indicate who those folks are within your proposal.
