 == Notes ==
+=== Full natural language - pipe dream? ===
+* Nice, but black hole - will never be completed to perfection
+* There are plenty of other things to solve to make it more usable to normal people
+* Makes localization even more difficult
+* Localization more important than natural language parser
+=== Solving localization problem ===
+* Giving command authors the right tools
+** eg, few know about synomyms
+* Prepositions - fixed list/standard list? would help with managing user expectations, and localization
+* Verbs suppying noun types only, not prepositions? have prepositions generated automatically, with different sentance structures
+** But, need to have much more specific noun types (possibly with traits)
+* Need a language with an active community
+** Will help figure out what problems need solved
+** Japanese? (Jono/Mitcho) current parser is out of date
+** Portuguese? (Fern)
+=== To Do ===
+* Advertise the meeting better next time
+** Bring in Ray Bango for developing active non-English community
+* Mitcho to blog about overload verbs, modifiers, etc
+* Jono to put overload verbs on top of his to-do list
