Hello desktop gurus.
I am trying to port following spell checking engines to OpenSolaris:
   Zemberek (Turkish):  https://zemberek.dev.java.net/
   Voikko   (Finnish):  http://voikko.sourceforge.net/

 From Gnome 2.18 on, all JDS/Gnome applications use Enchant wrapper 
library (http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/) to call spell 
checking backend engines (myspell, hunspell, aspell, etc.).
So, my plan is to compile Zemberek and Voikko on OpenSolaris, place bins 
probably to /usr/share/spell/zemberek|voikko, and make them work with 
Enchant.

Does that sound like a good plan?
Will JDS appls be able to use Zemberek and Voikko spell checking 
functionality through Enchant?

I am also concerned about current version of Enchant in OpenSolaris - 
1.3.0 (on 200811 build 99). Unfortunately, that version is not able to 
handle Zemberek & Voikko engines. However, Enchant 1.4.0 and higher does 
support them.
Do you know when Enchant 1.4.0 or 1.4.2 will be in OpenSolaris?

Thank you,
Jan
