Both Irina and I have been enthousiastic users of Shoebox, but Shoebox isn't available for Unix, so I had to start my own equivalent, which has since grown & grown... Kura doesn't parse as well as Shoebox (but my shiny new book on natural language processing arrived yesterday), but has a lot more presentation capabilities. When I return from holiday, I'm going to try and wrap up the first beta release of Kura - I need to do something with the lexicon editor, add a few touches to the html presentation layer and do some thorough debugging. Afterwards, I'm going to try for some intelligence. You can already see the html presentaion bit of Kura in action at: http://www.valdyas.org:8000 - bear in mind that the interlinear texts are the most interesting bit.
