Excellent Amir. Just a thought: For those who do not know, there is an addon called Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool [LAV] on the English Wikipedia. This tool is a typical RC patrol tool which shows edits on the fly. Part of this tool checks spellings on the fly and the user has the option of fixing them.
Perhaps this part of LAV could be ported? -- On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 11:14 AM, Arjuna Rao Chavala <arjunar...@gmail.com>wrote: > Base Telugu words though old were already available under GPL, thanks to > the efforts of IIIT, Hyderabad which digitized CPBrown English-Telugu > dictionary.
