Comment French Verb Rules DB Documents Prior Art (Score 1) 382
As the project leader for the open source French Verb Conjugation Rules Database project at SourceForge, I hope Microsoft considers the prior art contained within it. The database contains RegEx expressions for conjugating and infinitizing French verbs. The database is in Microsoft Access because it easily handles Unicode. Algorithms were written in .Net.

The world needs more open source versions of similar databases and linguistic algorithms. Language processing databases and software are ideal global open source projects. I would greatly value an open source project that documents syntax forms and algorithms for the world's languages. I have not found such a project.
