--- Comment #16 from Kevin Atkinson <[email protected]> --- Hi, Sorry if this is off-topic, but I am the current maintainer of the US/CA/AU Hunspell dictionaries, and there were a few things I thought needed to be cleared up. I want to clarify first that the project is not abandoned, nor have I stepped down. I realize that the lack of updates may make it look that way, but I have been maintaining SCOWL for over 25 years now. Even after long periods of inactivity, I always manage to swing back around and create new releases. I also realize that many users are frustrated by my lack of responsiveness when requesting new words; however, I now have plans to address those issues. I hope to create a new release sometime in early 2026. For details on my future plans, see: https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/394 The next release will move the project to a new format. This new format stores words as lemmas with POS and all derived forms (including irregular ones). This will take some work, but the new information can likely help provide better-quality morphological data. I am actively looking for someone to help with this: https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/discussions/432 The new release will also make it possible to provide better-quality word lists with hyphenated compounds and proper abbreviations (ending with a period, rather than having it stripped off), if that is something you could use. I hope we can work more closely together in the future. The best way to reach out to me is via the GitHub project: https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist Thank you, Kevin Atkinson -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
