Well, if I were you, I'd start by creating a github repository with your code and a tagged version of your artifacts, these .aff and .dic files used by hunspell. This would let anyone with high-enough motivation the ability to test it on their own machine (I may volunteer). Next, I'm afraid, comes specialized packaging for different environments. In hspell I added Makefile targets for hunspell-he.rpm and for Mozilla xpi. The former is good enough for most application on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL. Then you could propose the rpm to Fedora; or the xpi to Mozilla; or hope that someone else does it for you for OSes and applications you are not familiar with. It's a long process, but when it works it's quite satisfying. Good luck, Dan. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
