If you fork, you will see no improvements from the original project
anymore. Projects try to keep public interfaces stable. If they don't,
you can still fork. Going out of business if nothing that happens in the
open-source world.
BTW: A spellchecker is nothing barebones.
BTW2: You are aware that several people (Hurricane, timeless) actually
once started to work on it and get into the code? (But nothing surfaced
so far.) You should ask them for their input first.
