I mean, what is missing before the software is able to do something? What do you expect it do be able to do? Is it just a matter of time or there are unknown in the future?

Please take a look at the Roadmap page for details about what has been accomplished and what the sequenced tasks are: Periodically I post project status updates. To specifically answer your question, I feel that deployment is a matter of time. I am specifically encouraged by my recent progress on the Texai bootrstrap English dialog system. The English generation code should be done by mid-May and I estimate that the tool will be publically available in the fall. Note that the tool will not initially know much nor understand much English. Its purpose rather is to learn English vocabulary from volunteer mentors, and also construction grammar rules. -Steve Hi James,
