Since hunspell comes out it seams like no one cares much about Aspell. For example, it seams that RedHat wants to completely eliminate all spell checkers except Hunspell:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary
Originally Hunspell was designed to replace MySpell in OpenOffice however since then it has become an independent spell checker with many of the same features of Ispell/Aspell. Although it is never explicitly states the Hunspell is intended as a better Aspell (in fact they hardly mention Aspell at all), it is in a prime position to completely replace Aspell. In fact the most recent version even has support for "dictionary based phonetic suggestion" [Hunspell ChangeLog].
So the question is: Do You think Aspell is still relevant in light of Hunspell?
I have my own option on the matter but I thought I would post to aspell-devel first to get others opinions. I might also post this to aspell-user.
Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
