Introduction

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

Hello! I am Marco Pinto from Portugal. Since the 1990s that I have dedicated my free time to several projects, both translating and coding and also beta testing. A few years ago I decided to take part of the OpenOffice.org project, so I unofficially sent e-mails to the persons in charge of the pt_PT suggesting words for the dictionary (speller) and thesaurus and also reported typos I found. Recently the Dic+The+Hyph of pt_PT is owned by Minho University in Portugal and I am in contact via e-mail with them. I wanted to do more, so I started developing my tool, Proofing Tool GUI [1] [2], and I sent an e-mail to the Minho University guys saying that I wanted to help improve the Thesaurus and I have already added several words using my tool. Nothing official though... As I improve my tool (I am currently working on the derived words showing like Andrea Pescetti and other persons suggested) I also wanted to get more involved in projects such as Firefox and Thunderbird. In Mozilla channels (IRC) I offered myself to improve the speller of en_GB since it is full of typos and missing words, and they told me to fork it. I tried to contact Lucas twice, who was the person making the dictionary compatible with latest releases of Thunderbird but I never got a reply. Also, regarding my tool, I need help concerning the decoding of words. I went to Hunspell on Source Forge and downloaded the three PDFs. The third one, hunspell4.pdf, says on page 2: " GENERAL OPTIONS Hunspell source distribution contains more than 80 examples for option usage." Can someone send me the text with the 80 examples? Thanks!
