My work-in-progress parser, jbogenturfa'i:

I've got the morphology file working and tested, and the grammar
parses what I've thrown at it so far.  I'm working now on cleaning
up the resulting parse tree to be useable in other applications
and adding test cases to more rigorously test the grammar parser.

It uses the PEG grammar developed by camgusmis and xorxes.

The parser is written in Scheme, and is to my knowledge the first
time someone has built tools for working with Lojban in Scheme.
I've certainly written the best PEG parser available for Scheme,
because I tried the available one before writing my own.  ;-)

My near-term goal is to have a camxes-level feature set and to
maintain a second PEG parser alongside camxes, while sharing as
near the same PEG grammar between them as possible.  So far, this
work has resulted in a satisfying level of cleanup to the PEG grammar,
which I would like to see become the official grammar for Lojban.

In service to that I've been collecting the available test data and
will be extending my test suite to include them.  I'm currently at
6176 tests to cover the morphology.
