Rules posted for Loebner 2009

So they've posted the rules for the Loebner Contest for 2009.  It's quite a bit different from this past year, but I think I'll have an entry.  

They'll require a standalone program, but I'll have a version up on the website for testing at some point.  

They've also posted the transcripts from the finals this past year.  Elbot is impressive.  :)  It'll be an interesting challenge next year.

Next... I'll be posting excerpts from Orion chatting during the preliminary round of the contest...
