السلام عليكم، Unfortunately, nothing changed, beside the addition of 38,407 terms for translation from WordNet and the relicensing to GFDL. In my opinion, it would be better to reorganize the project. I suggest to adapt it to the goals and structure of the BSD licensed "WordNet" [1] or the GPL "GCIDE" [2]. WordNet is a semantic lexicon and has a very detailed structure, which makes it ideal for translation and reusing the wordlist for other purposes, mainly machine translation. The challenge is to study ideal ways to take profit from it in our context and our visions of the Wordlist. So, please investigate this suggestion.
