I've followed the threads on this, and it sounds like folks have zeroed in on the issue and know how to make grammars compatible.

Has anyone done the work yet of converting the grammars, or maybe some of them? If there's more to be done, can we maybe divide up the work and get these in place?

I've just started using the voxeo community developer site, which is a very slick way to test voicexml apps. But it looks like the grammar compiler is nuance's, so I've run exactly into the symptoms Steve Hodson first described.

Rahul, you mentioned in an earlier post on these threads that you didn't have access to nuance-based interpreters. You can get access to one for free at http://community.voxeo.com (no affiliation with me). It's brilliantly simple. To create an app you give the app a logical name, and an http app entry point. For my case, I pointed it to the public IP of my home development box, and setup port forwarding (I'm behind NAT) to route to tomcat/websphere. You can then use any SIP phone (I used http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html) to test. It works really well, and should let you test any grammars that get submitted.

Anyway, in my mind this was the missing piece for a free development environment. http://eclipse.org/vtp/ provides simple editors for grammar and voicexml files, and RDCs make it so you don't really need gui call flow builders.

It'd be awfully nice if RDCs could work with nuance. As you say, RDCs' grammars adhere to the spec, and the problem may be with nuance. But it sounds like the grammars can be nuance-compatible and spec compliant. This sounds like a key step for wider RDC adoption.
