I think that you are exaggerating, Richard. The current "perfect"
version of the TDT3 evaluation plan (version 2.7) was announced on
Wednesday August 11th. Following this announcement, the first advisory
that I am aware of regarding corpus problems was disseminated on Friday
August 27th -- over two weeks later. Also, to the best of my knowledge,
there have been no reports of problems with the software. Perhaps BBN
is conserving energy by letting other sites fix all the problems first?
