This page contains some information about the DELPH-IN developers meeting to be held at CSLI in 2007-03. We are trying a shorter meeting where people can talk about what they are doing and what they want to do, in an attempt to coordinate our efforts. Many potential participants are likely to be at CSLI a bit before/after the meeting, so individual issues can be worked on then.

Date
Mar 1--2, 2007

Place
CSLI, Stanford University

Participants
EmilyBender, FrancisBond, AnnCopestake, DanFlickinger, StephanOepen, UlrichSchaefer, TimothyBaldwin.

The timetable has been left deliberately underspecified.
