Because of the Web, The World Language Process, for the first time, achieved a level of over 500 volunteers.

With Sally Ward doing most of the data entry, over 80 editors were able to create sentences for the 40,000 definitons in the dictionary and the dictionary data base was implemented.

Roz Rus edited the 44,000 words on the Angel spelling list.

In December the editors completed syllabifying 815 merged word list files of fifty words each.

Brett Holt wrote an improved Windows 95 program for on-line ANJeL Tun translation which is able to translate to both Angel and NES (New English Spelling). The latter is under the guidance of Ron Footer in London England and is used by the ACCESS project as Bridge English. There were developed a suite of free analyses programs for researchers wishing to do research on the Angel and NES fonetic spelling lists.

We created our

Antony Alexander and Dr. Steve Bett, along with Roslyn Rus, Douglas Worthingham, and some others started reviewing Regularization for the ACCESS System.

A significant effort was made to become an independent NGO member of the United Nations. Our president submitted by the stated deadline the required application on our letterhead, but no response was obtained.

In the fall of the year the Bahj� Memorial was extensively landscape. The placing of the natural red stone was accompanied by a Metis Ceremony conducted by the National Chairman of the Southern Metis.

The year 2001 saw a major effort to reorganize our web pages and move them to a new server.

The major task in 2001, was to merge all the dictionary data bases into one and to rationalize them with the word lists.

We once again did a major reorganization on the web pages and moved them to a still faster server.

The major task in 2002, continued to be to merge all the dictionary data bases into one and to rationalize them with the word lists. Two volunteer programmers worked on the project.

There was appointed a Chancellor for Japan and a professional paper was presented at the JALT Conference by Professor Jonathan Britten.

A major arrangement was made for the placing of volunteers into China and information about that program was incorporated into the web pages.

Video editing technology made a considerable advance during the year. Reasonably priced non-linear editing programs with much greater capability became much more available and new video cameras with direct DVD storage capabilities appeared to be on the verge of integration with them.

During the year we also began the study of animation capabilities.

Application was made to the 2003 JALT conference for a second presentation about the World Language Process.

The ongoing study of animation processes, synthetic generation of voices, TTS (Text To Speech) technology, talking heads and so forth received the assistance of several notable experts.

The possibility of cooperation with AT&T in developing videos with VTTS (Visual Text to Speech) technology, for training Chinese personnel for the Olympics in China, was undertaken with the appropriate director at the AT&T Research Laboratories.

The World Language Process presence on the web was further extended with its being mirrored at two other North American locations. Both the present web site and one of the new sites have a T1 available and the second North American mirror site has dual T3s. The need for this massive amount of bandwidth was necessitated by its initial Webpal primary site being overwhelmed on two occasions because of demand in connection with catastrophic threats for which it also provides support and response materials. The one occasion saw over 85 thousand hits on in less than 3 hours.

Arrangements were made for the distribution of the web site by CD to other parts of the world so that at a future time it may be implemented on websites there. Thousands of CDs were distributed and portions of the web site were mirrored in over 30 locations.

Professor Britten's paper on the World Language Process published in the fall in the 2004 JALT Journal in Japan.

The AT&T Speech Animation Lab closed but both its director and the President of Speech Graphics assisted us in finding another provider. We eventually chose the European Babel Bright Speech from the Acapella Group for TTS and Inovani in Norway as our Speech Animation provider.

In preparation for the above conference, a new WLP presentation DVD was developed that incorporated several new technological breakthroughs developed for the WLP by Inovani. The TTS Animated Characters were for the first time able to sing and better pedagogical speech speed control was implemented.

The WLP attendance at the conferences has only been possible because of the often sacrificial contributions by a number of members and supporters. In regards to the latter special mention and appreciation is made here of Clifton and Diane Yocom.

The major WLP activity at the AILA 2008 Conference and for WLP in 2008 has been to begin to structure and organize a World Conference of all the nations of the world - and the WLP is presently proposing that it take place at the 2011 AILA Conference in Beijing, China.
