Hello Pedro,

What Alexandro was telling about is the tool "Proofing Tool GUI".

I have released a V3.0 beta the other week which is now ultra-fast on dictionaries, but I still need to do the same with the other parts of the code... it is a complex task to replace the "easy" code with more complex one.

You can find the tool here:

I have been using it for en_GB both for Mozilla and Apache OpenOffice.

Kind regards,

Hi Pedro, Marco Pinto has been contributing to the project for some
time, he has his own tool for spellchecking and also has update the
english package for the dictionaries. I think is a good first step
since he already know the ropes of the project.

If you need more information regarding the process of contribution I
suggest to read "the apache way" and also some of the introductory
modules. Located here:

Good evening,




I’m a student
 from Minho University in Portugal, taking my Master's in Computer Teaching,
and
myself and a colleague of mine, require as a group to contribute to an open
source project, as a requirement for the course, during this semester (we
must conclude by July 2014).
The expected outcomes are:
Analyst – Requirement document;
                                          Programmer – Code;
                                          Tester – Bug report.

Among
a list of choices, we were given, we chose the http://www.openoffice.org/
community to collaborate
with. Our teacher Luis Barbosa
([email protected]) is participating in
the project “A Pilot Project on Non-Conventional Learning” with the
collaboration
of Sara Fernandes ([email protected])
from de United Nations University – IIST.





Myself and my colleague,
already concluded a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Faculty of
Science of
Porto University - Portugal.


We have experience with: C,
C++, Java, _javascript_, Prolog, Haskell, SQL, PHP, CSS, HTML. We are hoping
we could collaborate
and help the openoffice community with QA, translation, graphic design or
programming
tasks, maybe 3-4 hours a week.


We would like to know if you are willing to cooperate with us
and if you could recommend any appropriate
tasks for us to work on?




We
await your reply.


Best
reguards,

   Pedro
