Its just a collection of thoughts where I stumbled upon and
wished some improvement _sometime_.

Well, given the huge amount of currently active developers,
I guess we could leave this it-stuff aside for the time
being and it would be enough if you say: "I'll want to work
on this issue". This will surely suffice to avoid any
confusion.
Additionally, I'd suggest to keep a low footprint here on
techical requirements.

Agree. As I said above, I just put up a list of things
concerning spell checking I stumbled upon in the past or was
reported about as wishes for further improvement and so on.
It was not meant as a todo for you.

IMHO a perfect idea. From my side I'd give you a "Go!" :)

Except your current job position this is perfect. But I
guess we've not to many developers here with those skills,
that's why I'd suggest to keep a low footprint on technical
requirements mentioned above.

Perfectly well with me. As I said it was just a collection
of things that would be nice to have at some point, and it
might be good for you to know about if you start to work
into this stuff. Maybe you stumble upon one or the other
thing and say: "oh, this is just a two liner..." I've
absolutely no idea about spellchecking code myself.

Have a lot of fun!
