The Voikko project initially started as the hunspell-fi project, but hunspell was dropped for now, because using malaga <http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/> gives better results with the Finnish language. If you're interested, please read <http://voikko.sourceforge.net/architecture.html>. One big decision maker was also the fact that someone called Hannu Väisänen maintains a big Finnish vocabulary known upstream as suomi-malaga, in Fedora packaged as malaga-suomi-voikko. This, as the name suggests, requires using malaga. Voikko gives excellent results with the Finnish language currently, much better than any other free software implementations (myspell/ispell/aspell and hunspell, whose upstreams are practically non-existent currently). In my opinion Voikko is now working at least as well as the only proprietary Finnish spell checker for Linux I know, Soikko. So it's pretty much the best you can get. There are less than 10 people working on Voikko right now, probably more like 5 and they're doing a great job. You do have a valid point, but I really don't see the architechture changing to hunspell or any other in the near future. Remember we don't need to have the Voikko stuff in every Fedora installation, for example the openoffice.org-voikko package is currently only installed if the user installs OO.o and the Finnish language support group. -- Ville-Pekka Vainio -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
