I have been working on a little project <https://github.com/bbloomf/verbalatina>, from which I was hoping to generate a list of Latin words (all possible declensions and conjugations) with vowel lengths marked, based on the Lewis and Short dictionary. The end goal of this project was to aid in adding accent marks to Latin texts that are missing them (or indeed vowel lengths), but I like the other goals that Élie enumerated here as well.
Anyway, I have a node.js script in my project that is starting to work parsing the digitized version of the Lewis and Short dictionary to produce such a Latin word list. I haven't had as much free time to work on this lately, but if anyone is interested in helping out or forking the project, perhaps what I've written so far might be useful. I should really clean up the code a bit: I had originally started the project using the much more abbreviated "Elementary Latin Dictionary", and the xml for that was in a different format, and parseXml.js is a relic from that. The real parsing is now done in parseLewisAndShort.js, and right now it works pretty well with most verbs, and ok with nouns and adjectives, but it doesn't yet handle alternate orthographies for words, and usually treats these as indeclinables if they have their own separate dictionary entry, or ignores them if they are part of another entry. Feel free to email me with any specific questions about this project.
