Suggestion: Give a more rigrous testing style for the "arbitrarily chosen native speaker". Something like:
The tester sits in one room with a computer connected to an IRC server in a private room. Two other users are allowed in the IRC room (but only one of them is in it at once), one of which is the program and the other is a second arbitrarily chosen native speaker. After an hour of questioning, the tester will make a guess as to which user is a program and which is a human. The test is repeated with other native speakers (up to some TBD number of tests). To win, the testers must guess incorrectly at least 50% of the time.
This will probably need to be modified further, but should be a good start. It also adds the requirement that the program can talk over IRC, but I doubt that would be a challenge for anyone implementing a natural-language processor :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
