[aspell-devel] Aspell | MySpell

[Arsen Kostenko]

Hello list!

As you might see, I am a newbie here. It eventually happened so, I was
accepted into Google SoC program
(http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html,
http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleSocApplications ). My project is
SpellChecking bounty for Ubuntu Linux (
http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/SpellChecking ). The task is to make a
single spell checking system instead of three (Ispell, Aspell and
MySpell). After some negotiations with a mentor of mine, Aspell was
chosen as the core for the future single spell checking system.

Since I am quite new to Aspell as well, I would be glad if Aspell
gurus helped me with advice.

Probably the most challenging part is developing MySpell compatibility
interface in Aspell. By this time it would be helpful to learn whether
task of this kind has ever been carried by Aspell developers. In case
the answer is 'yes', then whom should I address? In case the answer is
'no', then are there any objections/considerations on this idea?

Regards,
Arsen Kostenko.
