The software comes bundled with a few score texts, a very varied
assortment, and, when some further development is done, the user will be
able to add anything they like (from Project Gutenberg for instance).; I
tweak the results of course :) after all, it is a 'collaboration' with the
software. But the basic idea is that the program forwards a vocabulary from
the texts into a pre-selected form - I accept and reject offerings, like a
very small scale Olympian, and nudge and nurdle the syntax when needed. I
chose the titles too.
