Research projects increasingly ask for a stable TextGrid version to work with. We would like to meet these demands right now and have developed a Roadmap accordingly.

This roadmap shows the intended steps towards a stable and productive Version 1.0. Furthermore, it provides an overview of the features of TextGrid and includes development priorities and use cases.

The stable and productive version will be presented in June 2011 after an intensive test phase of three months.

The TextGrid-Tage 2011 (TextGrid Days) will take place in Göttingen on 12/13 July, 2011. The event will focus on the presentation of a stable and productive Version 1.0. 

For the first day, a conference with a ceremonial act is scheduled. On the second day, user-oriented workshops will take place on the following topics:

• text mining
• Digital Library
• sustainability
• tutorials (on basics and special tools)

Further information about the TextGrid-Tage as well as details for the registration will be announced in the beginning of 2011. Please save the date.

The Press Kit is mainly intended as a service for journalists. It provides an overview of the project including up-to-date information, interviews with experts and a set of important materials.
