Hello Janis,

If you mean by that questions what is happening on SUN's side:
I've written down the complete concept and it is awaiting approval, then
I will start writing down the API in IDL and intend to have it approved
here in the ML.

The concept should work fine with one grammar checker for each language
for the time being. It remains to be seen how it can be extended to
several grammar checkers for the same language (it can probably not be
done if all of them intend to bring their own UI since it seems not
feasible too switch UI's between them when editing a single sentence).

Also the concept currently installs the concept of a main or primary
language of a sentence. That is even if a sentence is build up of
several language it is assumed that the sentece itself is in a single
language and it only 'features' embedded text of other languages, and
thus the sentence is going to be grammar checked in that single language
only.

With the above limitations I think we will have a fairly limited concept
that should allow for any single grammar checker to work with it. And it
works even for multiple checkers as long as they don't handle the same
language.
If needs be and solutions are found for the mentioned problems we have
to see how to extend the concept. But in the meantime we will be able to
provide grammar checking to the users more readily.


Regards,
Thomas
