What version of Grok are you using? That was all changed over back in July, so you shouldn't be seeing this problem...

Already done --- I'm actually a bit confused as to how you've ended up with quipu stuff. :)

We used to have documentation for a previous version of Grok, but I have taken it down because it is no longer relevant for the current version. I hope to build documentation back up by using the Grok forums for the time being and then condensing my and Gann's responses to people's questions in a more coherent form later on. Right now I don't have much time to devote to anything other than code development, so my apologies for the lack of ready docs. I of course welcome your offer to help write documentation!
Grok is currently going through changes that are taking it away from some of the things that have been written about it in the past, so I guess I wanted to start from a clean slate. But, I've put the old grok homepage up on my site:
That one is important for explaining the relationship between Grok and OpenNLP. I'll also see about rounding up more academic things that have been written w.r.t or about Grok.

Cool. What would you be interested in working on?

http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~jmb/grokpage
for you to have a look and see if there is anything useful in there. The slides for a presentation I did a long time ago is available at:
