Yes, we should start assembling a list of corpora, even so we at least have it
for others that come later and want to reproduce them. In the meantime, I
would agree that we can just keep the models elsewhere. We don't have to
provide models. They are a convenience for all involved, but not a requirement
in order to run. I wonder how many people actually train there own. (BTW, we
should update our website to point to older models, too. They are really hard
to find unless you do some URL rewriting.)
OK, then lets get out the release as quickly as possible without
depending on the legal issues for the models
And lets do as much as possible to resolve these issues, just next to
the release work. I might have a
few spare cycles here and there to work on that.
To get started with the legal stuff we need to compile a list with all
the necessary information,
that list will make a nice corpora page in our wiki.
Our documentation already contains instructions on how to train on some
freely available data.
In the end I believe we are all best served with a wikinews corpus which
can be labeled by our community.
