Since last time

Polderland:

• currently looking into bug with test system with/without user dictionary
  • still not completed yet
• Adobe: developing for CS3 - work continues.
  • hyphenator for Afrikaans/Windows running, working on Sami extensions
• evaluating price for InDesign speller
• bug 402: tokenization issue, buried deep in code, fix available before final version
• bug 419 (compounding: 2 elements -> 5): will be solved this week
• bug 447 (installation on terminal server): looks like configuration issue
• working on self-starting windows installer
• have a set of penalty setting rules (to be included in phonetic rules) ready to be sent
• have had some discussions internally on SáMI -> Sámi sugg mechanism. Currently, we do not suggest all uppercase in any of our spellers
• speller tester (command line speller) tokenization: no trivial change. Has to do with the fact that MS word also does some tokenization. - punctuation that can, or can not, be part of a token (.'-)

Divvun:

• CS3 seems to be installed, or is on the way to being installed in at least the biggest printing houses, but I still need to check some of the other publishers
  • still one more to check, but it seems CS3 will be a safe lower end supported
  • also needs to get confirmation from the board
• installed new version of mklex - waiting for the first compilation run with it to finish
• our speller test bench is starting to become really good: ) - have a look at this page where we measure performance on different editing distances, suggestion rating, number of failed suggestions, etc.

Issues

• suggestions for generated compounds
  • send examples
  • penalty levels can be set at the begining of the phonetic rules file - Peter will send some examples and documentation
    • on its way
• compounding limit - now 2 elements, should be higher
  • Peter will change it to 5 - otherwise identical to the newest speller.
    • will be sent this week
• windows installer should autostart
  • see bug report - being worked on
• case correction:
  • MáRKANSLUSKA => MÁRKANSLUSKA, suggests: Márkanšiljuska and other words with only initial capital.
  • SáMI => SÁMI, suggests: Sámi
    • Peter will look into possible settings to adjust this
    • it has been discussed now, it will probably be fixed, but not immediately
• full stop at end of word - command line speller
  • will check this and get back wrt tokenization diffs with Word
    • needs some more investigation
• hyphenation lexicon update - the dic file
  • the dic file is exactly the same as the speller lex file
  • the pattern file is a different story, and can not be updated by Divvun. But there shouldn't be any need for updating it - the resulting patterns would be the same

Next meeting

Next week (3.7.) at the usual time.

• check inconsistent speller behaviour depending on the existence of userdict or not PLD
  • Peter has started to look at this
• PLD continue to create hyphenator for Adobe InDesign CS3
• PLD try to find proper compiler version for Adobe Indesign CS2. Looks bad.
  • old version does not work, user group + Adobe confirms it no longer sold
  • check with Sámi publishing houses whether support for CS2 is still needed ( Divvun)
• speller in InDesign/InCopy option (PLD)
• see bugs 402, 419, 447 in the Divvun Bugzilla (partially PLD)
• add capital suggestion bug to Bugzilla (Divvun)
