Meeting with Polderland 28.10.2008

Participants:

InDesign Windows: Frank is working on it
OpenOffice: depends on Papiamento - no info on papiamento
bug 645: not repro, probably because we fixed it april and forgot to update bugzilla. Current version behaves correctly on our side. Please confirm.
bug 679: modified version available that respects user-defined soft-hyphens. Found no way to let user-defined hyphens precede over other possible hyphen positions, however. Propose to drop modified version together with InDesign windows version (so that both the windows version and the Mac version are based on the same code).
look at mac installer for office 2008 (Apple's own) - pending

working on improving both our spellers, as well as our hyphenation
- many linguistic bugs fixed, still some to go
M+S letter: offer received from Polderland
no progress on South Sámi, but will continue this week
working on adding MS Office 2008 support in our build system
- done. Also improved building the distributions, and added locale-supported pdf files (to remove file clutter).

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 - probably fixed in previous version. Please confirm our repro test results.
679	xxx	Discretionary/soft hyphen not respected - repaired, repaired code to be dropped

Next meeting (4.11.) at 10.00 Dutch/Norwegian time.
