External Resources

I'd suggest using bulleted lists in each subsection and use correct linking. It would also be good to know the licenses of corpora as well, not just who holds the copyright. There's also some general cleaning up that needs to be done. E.g., "acquired" dates aren't needed, and sometimes it says "Old Testament" instead of "New Testament" and stuff. I cleaned up the Corpora section for you. Take a look at a diff of the page history to see my changes. It would also be nice to have the sections sort resources, e.g. "corpora", "dictionaries", "grammar books", "machine translators", "academic work", etc. Were you not able to find more external resources? -JNW
