> OPEN SOURCE SPELL CHECKING WORD LIST RECEIVES BLESSING FROM DUTCH
> LANGUAGE UNION
>
> Today (June 8th) the Dutch-speaking OpenTaal project (translation: "Open
> Language") publishes its word list that received the Spelling Seal of
> Approval from the Dutch Language Union, the formal Dutch language
> institute. The Seal of Approval indicates that the word list complies
> with the Dutch official spelling. "It is of great importance that we
> received the Spelling Seal of Approval. It assures users of open source
> software that they can trust their Dutch spell checker", according to
> Simon Brouwer, project leader of OpenTaal.
>
> Since the end of 2005 the project OpenTaal has worked to improve and
> extend an existing open source Dutch word list. The approved word list
> contains more than 140.000 keywords. The word list is available in
> packages that can be installed in OpenOffice.org, Firefox and
> Thunderbird. The approved word list is available under a free license
> (LGPL) and may be used by open source projects.
>
> More than 10 Dutch and Belgian volunteers, some of them linguists, are
> working together in the project. The aim of the project is the
> development of free Dutch language files that can be used by free and
> open source software projects. OpenTaal also works on a thesaurus and on
> grammar checking. Anyone who wants to contribute to the goals of the
> project is welcome to participate.
>
> Background:
> At the end of 2005 the Dutch Language Union published a new version of
> its Dutch Language Word List (also known as the "Green Booklet"). Its
> spelling rules are compulsory for government and education in the Dutch
> language area from August 2006. For this reason, the existing open
> source word list had to be updated. Also, the possibility arose to have
> the language files certified by the Dutch Language Union. The OpenTaal
> project has been founded to facilitate the collaboration of Dutch open
> source projects on this subject.
>
> The project started as an initiative of the government ICTU-programme
> OSOSS. From the beginning, members of the Dutch TeX Usergroup and of
> nl.OpenOffice.org were involved. In the meantime, other Dutch branches
> of open source projects have started to participate.  nl.Debian,
> GNOME-NL, KDE.NL, Mozilla-nl are newly welcomed partner projects. The
> project also has a good relation with the NLnet foundation that has
> supported the project.
