revamping the wiktionary
service so that it contained more structured data. In it's current form it is
a Wiki about words. This does not allow for easy connections to be made
between Thesarus words, translations, etc.
I am interested as I am writing a spellchecker and the data should come
from wiktionary
Hopefully, with some help, brainstorming, and
experience we can hammer out a
better system to store, look-up, and access dictionary words.
I've got loads of ideas about how to implement some of this, but others know
more about how to include rollbacks, versioning, and deletion, of material.
If people are interested in can post some more indepth ideas about what (i
think) would need to be built and get some feedback about planning for other
languages, special cases, migration, and future additions.
I currently have 266K en
words and am proposing that the spellchecker is
part php module to increase the speed.
Along with this the parser for wiki markup could also be in the module
