When creating Dialogue Systems, it is not always easy to

• Install
• Run
• Link with outer components
• Customize
• Strong, incompatible architectural assumptions and APIs
• Not necessarily suited for real-time spoken dialogue

component. This website can be used to form a grassroots community where fellow Dialogue System creators and users can get together and discuss various topics in our forum.
