Hello everybody, I would like to donate something more to the "continuous spell checking project". The link is: http://www.lyx.org/Donate. At present, It lacks 237 euros to be accepted by Abdelrazak Younes
First of all, I know it might be obvious but I would like to know whether this feature is going to work on all platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac. I suppose the answer is positive... Secondly, I read the roadmap about Lyx 2 and there is an interesting improvement related to the spell checking. More precisely, I noticed Jurgen Spitzmüller has introduced support for the MyThes thesaurus library which is what OpenOffice uses. The link is: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20 I am wondering if this will apply to the continuous spell checking feature. In short, the dictionaries are going to be the same? I am interested mainly in the Italian dictionary because I know all thesaurus for Italian are really good in OpenOffice. Thirdly, I would like to know whether this extension could damage the Lyx performances. If this happens, needless to say, It could be disabled by default... In many softwares as OpenOffice using the spell checker on windows xp I have never noticed any problem... Nevertheless Lyx is a very different software... To sum up, is there a date regarding the availability of this feature (provided the 1000 euro are reached soon)? I am aware it is a really early to ask about the Lyx 2 version but I am wondering if you developers have a rough idea regarding its release date. Maybe after summer 2009? I looked for in the roadmap section but I didn't find anything. Best regards, Silvio
