Richard Curnow also has a system under development. All of which are quite a bit more complicated than the ChomskyBot. (Mine use an algorith from a fellow out of .nz which analyzes the grammar to determine all the proper weightings so you get sentences of exactly the length you want. Nora's (the LLG one) just has hard coded weights. Not sure what Richard's does, though I think he told me at one point.) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
