About the difficulties in learning LT.. I started out long ago for LT as a IT pro, language hobbyist.
The help of Daniel and Marcin at that time made it possible to get started. Starting with XML and plain words rules was not that difficult. Trial and error, and some help from this list was enough. Complexity rose when postags had to be made. That takes a lot of language knowledge, but most complex is to get the software in place to generate the lists. In general, there is a lot of focus on programming the programming tool level. (EDI, GIT etc.) Too complex for non-programmers. Making things 'wysiwyg' and webbased is a good direction. (Example: Translate the site content to any language from the site itself? Edit postags and words for any language online, auto generation of the dictionaries. ) Maybe there should be a 'programming' focus, a 'language' focus, and a 'rule' focus area? Just my 2 cents.
