Well.. I had spent a lot of time thinking about how to contribute to FPC. I thought about contributing with a string phonetizer algoritm i made, but its works only for the portuguese language, so i thought i wouldnt be much usefull for most of the FPC community. Some days ago i contributed to FPC with a stringcomparator unit based on the Jaro, Winkler McLachlan and Lynch algorithms, known as the best ones to compare strings, giving them a grade between 0 and 1 (0 being no similarity between them and 1 being exactly the same). So, here goes my questions... I had no feedback for the string comparison unit so far... Was that a good contribution? Would it be a good idea to contribute with the phonetic algorithm even knowing that it works only for the portuguese language?
