What data set would you like to have added to NLTK?
I would like to see a corpus reader for Sentiwordnet.
http://sentiwordnet.isti.cnr.it/
As far as i can see it is available for research purposes but sent only after individual registration. I am assuming some form of agreement can be reached.
Anyway, it would be nice to atleast see a feature that picks up their txt file and converts it. I have a script that converts the data to mongodb. Will try to write one for nltk corpus integration.

This would be a welcome contribution, even if it is not possible to get permission to redistribute Sentiwordnet with the NLTK Corpus Collection. Please see the Corpus HOWTO for information about the design of the corpus readers.
