 Hi,
 
 Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for something more elegant as 
 hspell requires file as input. It's not support piping. Or maybe I am wrong 
 ?
 
 I will await Nadav suggestions. He's the one who wrote hspell anyway :-)

I did write Hspell together Dan Kenigsberg, but in this case I was away for
some time, which is why I'm answering only now. I hope you already have the
answer by now.

Hspell *does* support pipe mode, just like ispell and aspell. You run
hspell -a, pass a Hebrew word and get a line saying if this word is
correct, and if not listing suggestions (see the ispell manual for the
format of this line).

2005-11-01 Thread Shlomo Solomon
Just got back. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do a full summary, but 
I can make a few points:

1 - As expected it was much more commercial and less technical than in the 
past.
2 - The general feeling was no longer that someone has to prove that Linux is 
here to stay. It's now obvious :-)
3 - Most lectures were really trying to sell services.
4 - Benny (?) Davidovitch of the Davidovitch bakery explained why his business 
has moved almost totaly to Linux and mentioned that when users (who were used 
to Windows) asked questions about the new interface, he told them it was a 
top secret test version of Windows 97. That made everyone happy and he's 
had no complaints since.
5 - Eli Marmor, Shoshana Forbes and Yonatan ben Avraham introduced 
OpenOffice 2.0. Amazingly, Eli and Shoshana were the only speakers to 
actually use Linux for their slides (and, of course, for Shoshana's demo of 
new OO features). All other speakers used Powerpoint :-(. Despite a minor 
glitch at the beginning of Eli's presentation, he made a good recovery and 
Shoshana's demo was very convincing (although I'm admittedly not impartial).
6 - Aside from Davidovitch and the OpenOffice presentation, nobody seems to 
care about the desktop - all the emphasis was on servers. Ness declared that 
they are entering the market with the intent of supplying and supporting only 
servers, SGI spoke about 10,000 CPU clusters, Novel obviously put most accent 
on databases, etc, etc, etc.

Just a guess, but I'd say over 500. In any case, there was not enough room in 
the lecture hall and chairs had to be added - and many people were in the 
display area at any given time.

The display area included Ness (late wakers, let's see what they swing),
Aduva, someone selling books, Oracle, Nisha HR, Emet, IBM, PenguinIT
and someone peddling CRM. If I forgot anyone, please tell me.

The focus of this years go-linux seems to be me-too! It is quite obvious
that Ness is me-toing, Xioma (the CRM peddlers) are me-toing (i.e. going to
a Linux show), Emet is its old self (which is saying not a little), IBM...
truth be told, I am not sure I understood what IBM did at the show, but
they had at least one interesting and (GASP) knowledgable guy on the spot.

Aduva was represented by two very disparate people - Lior Kissos and one
other. Lior is somewhat overenthusiastic about Aduva's products, but that
is quite refreshing - seeing an older guy not yet jaded.

I talked to the PenguinIT people a bit - they seem quite get-go about this
Linux thing. While interesting, this is a bit monomanic, and I think a bit
wrongheaded - Linux is well and good, but is not sliced bread...

The talks - which I listened to VERY partially - seemed to posses the great
depth of tile and the great breadth of a needle.

And Oracle... is.

I had a booth there and we were demonstrating our latest version of Audva
OnStage (3.0) while managing 4 different remote Linux servers, including
Linux/VM on a mainframe overseas.

A lot of people showed up, and clients were beginning to report that they
are starting to run Linux servers in the hundreds - which is a nice start
for Israel.

Library.

2005-11-01 Thread Tzahi Fadida
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a library (books) software out there that is free 
and
preferably in Hebrew. I wish to find something to my sisters school, which 
currently
uses paper cards.
A plus/must would be the ability to use a bar code reader.
However, it is possible that bar code readers doesn't need support
(just scan and print to screen the code), but i have little experience with 
those.
10x.

Regards,
Tzahi.

Two extremes I know about are:
  1. Koha (http://www.koha.org/)
- A full featured library system used by academic libraries
  in the world.
- I don't know about Hebrew, but it has been localized to several
  languages so it should be possible.
- Looks as an overkill for your purpose, but maybe it can be
  deployed partially.

  2. Tellico (http://www.periapsis.org/tellico/)
- A personal collection manager for KDE (I use it for my books).
- Support Hebrew although the interface hasn't been translated
  yet (you can do it easily).
- Can search Amazon and load meta-info from there -- save time!
- Not designed to track loans etc :-(

Seems like you need something in the middle. Last time I played
with Koha was about 3-4 years ago. It looks like a live project
so you may want to test it now (please report conclusions).

Hope it helps,
