- no dictionary maintenance overhead for Mozilla - I'm guessing a better, more robust dictionary in general - a database that is standardized across multiple applications (including custom dictionary settings) for the same system - less data in our install.. it might only amount to kilobytes, but when you multiply that by millions of downloads it adds up. It's not obvious to me what an open source database engine provides for us. Can our current engine support 3rd party data providers? That's really what we want to do here. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
