This is now done. The updated installation instructions are available at http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hunspell-fi/trunk/joukahainen/doc/INSTALL?view=markup and the English language pack at http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hunspell-fi/trunk/joukahainen/langpacks/en_US/ What is missing at the moment is importer and exporter for Hunspell dictionary format. This would be easy to do if you want to have the word flag attributes in Joukahainen directly correspond to affix flags in Hunspell, which is how the en_US language pack above is designed. But I think that from the point of view of a user of the word list editor it is not the optimal choice. For example noun "dog" in en_US dictionary has the following flags in Joukahainen if the current language pack is used: [Hunspell-M] suffix -'s [Hunspell-S] plural But since most of the nouns should have these two flags, it might be better to assume that these are set by default for all nouns. For the nouns that do not need them, there could be flags like [Hunspell-no-M] suffix -'s not allowed [Hunspell-no-S] no plural About having more than one language hosted on the same server: this should be possible, you just need to have different databases for each language. Dictionary maintainers should be allowed to have direct access to the database so that they can do batch changes if needed (like setting flags for many words at a time if it is later decided that having [Hunspell-no-S] is better that [Hunspell-S]). Having the vocabulary data from many languages in the same database would make such access more risky. Let me know if you need more information. I know that the documentation is not in the best possible state and there are some features that should still be implemented, but I would rather improve these things based on the actual needs of the people trying to use Joukahainen.
