The paper presents WordnetLoom - a new version of an application supporting the development of the Polish wordnet called plWordNet. The primary user interface of WordnetLoom is a graph-based, graphical, active presentation of wordnet structure. Linguist can directly work on the structure of synsets linked by relation links. The new version is compared with the previous one in order to show the lines of development and to illustrate the introduced difference. A new version of WordnetWeaver - a tool supporting semi-automated expansion of wordnet is also presented. The new version is based on the same user interface asWordnetLoom, utilises all types of wordnet relations and is tightly integrated with the rest of the wordnet editor. The role of the system in the wordnet development process, as well as experience from its application, are discussed. A set of WWW-based tools supporting coordination of team work and verification is also presented.
