By the way, gict needs a dict. server (mostly online) and also gdict and stardict are dictionaries; while Artha is a thesaurus which works off line, that lists a word's Synonyms, Antonyms, Derivatives, Pertainyms, Similar terms, Domain terms, Entails, Causes, Hypernyms, Hyponyms/Troponyms, Holonyms and Meronyms. Apart from thes,e ease-of-use features like summoning using a global hot key, passive notifications of a given word, suggestions, regex search. etc. are present as well. These features are unique to Artha. Most of these features are also present in stardict. And anyway, I can see emerging a strong need for standardisation on dictionary formats; even if it is not possible to have a single frontend, they should all be able to use all the dictionaries we have in the archive. I don’t think this can be done in Debian only, that’s why I’m suggesting to make upstreams work together on a common format, so that it can be eventually turned into e.g. a freedesktop standard.

Subject: ITP: artha -- A handy off-line thesaurus based on WordNet Package: wnpp Owner: Sundaram Ramaswamy legend...@yahoo.com Severity: wishlist * Package name: artha Version : 0.8.0 Upstream Author : Sundaram Ramaswamy legend...@yahoo.com * URL : http://artha.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : A handy off-line thesaurus based on WordNet Artha is a handy English thesaurus having distinct features like look up on a global hot key press, passive notifications of a selected text's definitions, suggestions for misspelled words, etc. Once launched, it sits on the system tray monitoring for a pre-set hot key combination. When some text is selected on any window and the hotkey is pressed, it pops-up with the word looked-up. Should the user prefer passive notifications over the app. popping-up, this can be done by enabling the notifications option. Artha is written from scratch in pure C using GTK+, with WordNet as it database corpus. It may be used as an advanced replacement for the proprietary WordWeb in GNU/Linux environments. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
