Jon,

Is this the development set? (That is, the set we should tune our
algorithms on and hope similar performance for the dry run?) Your
statement about releasing the complete TDT2 corpus for the first dry run
is confusing me. I guess I'm probably misunderstanding what is TDT3 vs
TDT2. I'm expecting (at least) 3 sets:

1. The first one now for developing algorithms
2. The second one for a dry run test in mid June (or are we doing this
on the development test like last September?)
3. The third one for the evaluation in the fall.
