Hi Cor, Thanks for your feedback. Last year I was involved in Dutch language developments (I worked with the Dutch OpenTaal Foundation to improve Dutch spell checking, sponsored by the Dutch Language Union and the foundation), but I have known the active and excellent open source Dutch language developments much longer.
I strongly think, the default grammar checking of LibreOffice have to prefer the minimalistic, non-intrusive sentence checking/proofreading. With the Lightproof editor extension, it is not so complicated to develop these basic Dutch/etc. sentence checking rules, based on the English ones. To give the best for other (extra/optional) requirements (writing aids for beginners and uncomplaining users) is to integrate the rule based Dutch grammar checking of LanguageTool (developed by Ruud Baars) with future statistical based Dutch developments of After the Deadline grammar checker, and adding an option (ie. an After the Deadline client) to the suggested Lightproof based Dutch grammar checker of LibreOffice to use it. This optional/extra server based grammar checking would be the ideal solution, because the statistical methods could be quite resource intensive, see 1 GB minimal memory requirement of contextual (only English) spell checking of MS Office 2010.
