  Grammar development environments (GDE's) for analysis and for generation have
not yet come together. Despite the fact that analysis-oriented GDE's (such as
ALEP) may include some possibility of sentence generation, the development
techniques and kinds of resources suggested are apparently not those required
for practical, large-scale natural language generation work. Indeed, there is
no use of `standard' (i.e., analysis-oriented) GDE's in current
projects/applications targetting the generation of fluent, coherent texts. This
unsatisfactory situation requires some analysis and explanation, which this
paper attempts using as an example an extensive GDE for generation. The support
provided for distributed large-scale grammar development, multilinguality, and
resource maintenance are discussed and contrasted with analysis-oriented
approaches.
