4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The results reported in this paper were accomplished by a team of 20 people with expertise in various facets of te task that invested about 250 person-hours over two and a half days. As additional Cebuano-specific evaluation resources are developed, we expect to gain additional insight into the quality of these early resources. Moreover, once we see what works best for Cebuano by the end of the process, we plan to revisit our process design with an eye towards better optimizing our initial time investments. We expect to be able to address both of those points in detail by the time of the conference.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This exercise was originally envisioned as a dry run to work out the kinks in our process, and indeed we have already learned a lot on that score. First, we learned that our basic approach seems sound; we built the key components of an interactive CLIR system in about 40 hours, and by the 60-hour point we had some basis for believing that each of those components could at least minimally fulfill their role in a fully integrated system. Some of our time was, however, spent on things that could have been done in advance. Perhaps the most important of these was the development of an information retrieval test collection using the Bible. That job, and numerous smaller ones, are now done, so we expect that we will be able to obtain similar results with about half the effort next time around.</Paragraph>
