Excellent news, we're always happy to receive new algorithms. I assume this
means you are happy to license the stemmer under the same terms as the existing
snowball software (ie, the BSD license, see
http://snowball.tartarus.org/license.php).

If you wish, you can send it directly to me (richard@lemurconsulting.com is the
best address to use). Martin may chip in asking for a copy to be sent to him,
too, but I'll leave that up to him. You could also try sending it directly to
this mailing list, though I fear it may be set to strip out attachments so that
could be futile.

We prefer to keep as much discussion as possible on this mailing list, so we'll
probably CC any follow-up messages to this list.

Thanks for the interest.
