LkbUserGroup
The LKB was originally developed by AnnCopestake (as part of the [http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/NL/acquilex ACQUILEX project]) at the [http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk University of Cambridge]. She continues to work on the system, but in the mid- and late 1990s, the software was substantially extended in terms of functionality and processing efficiency by JohnCarroll, RobMalouf and StephanOepen. Most of this work was performed under the auspices of the [http://lingo.stanford.edu/ LinGO Laboratory] at Stanford University. DanFlickinger, the main developer of the LinGO [http://www.delph-in.net/erg English Resource Grammar], has had a great deal of influence on LKB system design. As part of the EU [http://www.project-deepthought.net/ Deep-Thought] project, BenWaldron became involved with LKB development (specifically, he took over development of the lexical database; see the LkbLexDb page) and has since been an active contributor. The current distribution also includes code by others, most notably BerndKiefer, FrederikFouvry and EmilyBender.
The LKB has a reasonably active user base with an estimated several hundred installations world-wide. Part of the LKB source code is used as a post-processor in the [http://www.delph-in.net/pet PET] run-time engine (used by several active projects) and for the creation of MRS representations on top of the Xerox Linguistic Environment (XLE) in the [http://www.emmtee.net LOGON] machine translation effort. Accordingly, there are a variety of channels that may be suited for communication regarding LKB matters.
To report problems with the LKB software or inquire about specific aspects of its use (including donations to the development team), please use the email address lkb-bugs@csli.stanford.edu. Use this address rather than mailing to an individual. We will try to respond to all messages eventually, but cannot guarantee to do so!
The [http://lists.delph-in.net/mailman/listinfo/lkb LKB mailing list] is for messages directly related to the LKB grammar development environment, including questions that other users might be able to respond to, bug reports of general interest (please always copy to lkb-bugs), announcements of fixes, new releases etc. All LKB users are encouraged to [http://lists.delph-in.net/mailman/listinfo/lkb subscribe]. Note that you cannot mail to the list without being a subscriber (of course you can unsubscribe at any time). The list is currently not moderated but will be if there is a significant level of spam. Anything you post to the list will be [http://lists.delph-in.net/archive/lkb/ archived].
