Meeting with Polderland 3.9.2008

Participants:

InDesign Windows: on hold (cf Mac)
Mac Office 2008: dropped (have beta for icelandic too)
OpenOffice: depends on Papiamento (although - might create it anyway) => Papiamento decision should be available by now - check
re-use Polderland knowledge: is your knowledge now (but maybe we should have told you a bit less: ) - we'll be carefull;) : ) )
bugs 645: no progress
maintenance and support: warrantee period ends in September. Do you have a suggestion for a M+S contract, or do you want us to propose one? => Divvun: The idea was to ask for a quote as part of (or parallell to) the South Sámi offer, but that might still take some time to finish

now hiring South Sámi linguist
- done on my part, some formalities left
tested first drop of MS Office 2008 spellers, seems to be working fine (but more thorough testing needed)

No new items.

Div	Pld	Description
621	xxx	other hyphenator bugs. PB: not as much incorrect as well as weird-looking.
630	xxx	Word (prefix) with hyphen is rejected - and suggested
652	xxx	UPPERCASE-typos only get acronym-suggestions: VARI -> no sugg, vARI -> VÁRI as sugg; consequence of the sugg. mechanism, unresolvable
581	xxx	consonant doubling => actual problem is suggestions with hyphens (split compound type); these can be blocked as suggestions, and thus be removed (they would still be recognised, though)

Div	Pld	Description
645	xxx	borgguhan-gihppagis gets the hyphen on the next line

Next meeting (16.9.) at 09.30 Dutch/Norwegian time.
