I wasn't even following the Voikko project at 2006 when this decision was apparently made, I also don't know the code well enough to discuss the differences in detail. I know about FeatureDictionary and I have talked about Voikko, which is already in Fedora anyway, with Caolan, among others. At this point the thing is though, either we have very good Finnish spell checking in Fedora with Voikko or we don't have any Finnish spell checking at all. Right now, as far as I can see, the Voikko project is lacking manpower for such drastic changes as changing the backend. They are doing a good job improving the current codebase in small steps, however. -- Ville-Pekka Vainio -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
