Hi, maybe this is interesting for you:
I've added an English thesaurus to KWord, KDE's word processor. I did not use the Moby list / AikSaurus (as AbiWord seems to do), but a subset of WordNet. I'm confident that this offers better quality, i.e. the number of suggested words is lower but they make more sense. Our data file is 800kB big and offers synonyms, hypernyms (more general words) and hyponyms (more specific words), i.e. it's small enough to be part of the KWord distribution. Currently part of speech information is not shown, i.e. verbs, nouns etc are all mixed up. However, this could easily be added, I think it would only slightly increase the data file size. You can check out two screenshots here: http://www.danielnaber.de/tmp/ The source and data is accessible here (to actually try it you need KDE and KOffice from CVS): http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/koffice/tools/thesaurus/ Although I don't have time and knowledge to add this to software besides KWord I'm willing to answer any questions if you want to include it in e.g. AbiWord.
