Abstract
Since its first implementation in 1995, the shallow NLG system TG/2 has been used as a component in many NLG applications that range from very shallow template systems to in-depth realization engines. TG/2 has continuously been refined, the Java brother implementation XtraGen has become available, and the grammar development environment eGram today allows for designing grammars on a more abstract level. Besides a better understanding of the usability of shallow systems like TG/2 has emerged. Time has come to summarize the developments and look forward to new borders.
