* Package name : grammalecte Version : 0.5.15 Upstream Author : Olivier R. (olivier /at/ grammalecte /dot/ net) * URL : https://www.dicollecte.org/grammalecte/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : grammatical corrector for libreoffice and firefox Grammalecte is an open source grammar checker made for the french language, with extensions for Write (LibreOffice, OpenOffice) and Firefox. It is derived from Lightproof, which was written for hungarian. Grammalecte helps writing in french without bothering users with false alarms. This checker therefore follows the principle of least "false positives"; if it's impossible to determine with a strong probability that a string is erroneous, the checker won't signal anything. ---- Grammalecte is the first checker I have found that does extensive grammar checks for french while at the same time being a) actively developped and b) free software. I am not using it yet, being mostly restricted to english in most of my public writing, but I hope to go back to french more, in which case I will test it extensively and may end up packaging it myself. It's an unofficial fork of "Lightproof", which seems mostly inactive, but was written by FSF.hu for Hungarian and has LibreOffice extensions as well: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof/ It's unclear if they plan to merge back together. Someone discussed maintaining this in Debian 3 years ago on their forum: https://www.dicollecte.org/thread.php?prj=fr&t=414 I'll post this WNPP there as soon as I have a bug #. I usually maintain my packages in collab-maint and this one is no exception. I'd also be happy to delegate this to someone else and just sponsor the package or do whatever is needed to get this in...
