Lingucomponent Sub-Project: Grammar Checking

One of the goals of the Lingucomponent project is to design, develop, and implement a Grammar checker for English and other supported languages.

TODO

  • Extend OpenOffice.org so it can integrate an external grammar checker, very similar to the way spell checkers are integrated. People from Sun are currently (October 2006) working on this by integrating results from Google's Summer of Code project. However, the integration API will not be ready before OpenOffice.org 2.4. Actually it's already possible to integrate a grammar checker using the OpenOffice.org API, but this doesn't allow on-the-fly checking (i.e. marking errors with red underlines).
  • Integrate the grammar checkers listed below into OpenOffice.org and improve them.

If you have any interest in helping to implement a grammar checker for the OpenOffice.org project, please subscribe to the mailing list dev@lingucomponent.openoffice.org and introduce yourself, your skills, and your willingness to help this project.
