I am a retired CS prof. My primary interest has been
programming languages and C++. I find the one thing
I MISS in OO.o is a grammar checker.
I am interested in helping with a grammar checker
project for OO.o, but I do NOT want the lead. (My
primary interests in retirement are music and the
double bass.)
A quick Google search on the string
grammar checker gpl
finds this link
http://gnomedesktop.org/node/274
Here I find that someone has already written an interface
to Abiword to the Link Grammar checker.
The Gnome Desktop page provides this link
http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/
to the Link Grammar project written by Temperly, Sleator
and Lafferty.
According to this site, as of Dec 2004, this project is
being released under a GPL compatible license. The
sources are in generic C. This code runs on any platform
with a C compiler. There is an API.
I have not experimented with this at all, but someone
should investigate writing an interface to this grammar
checker for OO.o components. This sounds like it may
be a straightforward project.
