Hi,
I think 2.0.0 is quite a reasonable target. Please remember, that
Hunspell partially started out life as a variation of myspell that
has grown and improved much faster than Myspell and really *extends*
the number of languages that can be used.
It should require no changes for current (Myspell) dictionaries and
should require little (or no) changes to DicOOo since the
dictionaries themselves are not really changing (it Hunspell's
dictionary format is a superset of Myspell's).
Really the only changes should be happening "under the hood" so to
speak since the Hunspell spellchecking engine is more advanced than
the Myspell engine. End-users should see no differences but the
number of supported languages should grow alot (especially given
given Hunspell's ability to use unicode as its interface).
I see Hunspell pretyy much as a "drop-in" enhancement for Myspell.
Nemeth, what do you think?

Hi Nemeth, hi Kevin
First thanks for such an extension of spellchecking features.
Nevertheless, we wonder if 2.0.0 is the correct target version ?
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52383
Is it ready ? canit create additional feedback regarding
spellcheckers ?
As huspell is designed as an addon and there is a need of an
intensive and systematic verification of all existing dictionaries,
i would propose this:
- deliver it as an addon, officially supported by the
lingucomponent project or the comming scripting one.
Then the native-lang projects needing the new features can use it
an installer, such as DicOOo can be made for it if really needed
but addon installation is now really easy under OOo2
- in the mean time, organize a campaign of testing the existing
dictionaries. This could be lauched by contacting Native-Lang
projects, asking them for setting this inside their communties
- target the hunspell official replacement of myspel to 2.0.1
any remark welcommed and sure i can help setting up the testing
campaign
Thanks
Laurent
