Thanks. I just learned that there's also KDict which does maybe 50-%80% o=

what my patch would do (and other things)... Now I'm not sure anymore wha=

to do at all.

I have a new version of my patch which does parse the output of "wn". Thi=
s=20
way no compile time configuration is required.

If ispell isn't installed, how does KSpell handle that? Maybe the same=20
behaviour would be appropriate for wordnet, too.=20

The fix for wordnet 1.6 is very simple, if we want to waste KDE's=20
bandwidth we could put "wordnet 1.6 kde" on our servers :-) Even if we us=
e=20
the API I'd need help because you're getting back strange C data=20
structures.

Mhhhh... this is all very complicated. Also I won't have much time in the=
=20
near future. I suggest the following:

1.) I'll mail the Wordnet people if they can make a new release,=20
explaining our problems.

2.) Can you ask the Mandrake lawyers about the wordnet license?

This way at least some questions will be answered, even if the answers=20
won't tell us what to do :-)

 Daniel
