Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #312189, revision 12 Title: Need Offline Dictionary/Thesaurus database & GUI - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Important - Package Wishlist: Evaluation by engineering manager + Package Wishlist: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Narayansamy S (vazhavandan) Requested by: Santanu Das (santanu_csc) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In some cases when dictionary servers go offline or internet connection goes down looking up words becomes difficult. Hence there arises a need for an offline dictionary GUI and database Suggestion:- I would like artha and wordnet to be added to the distribution Even if the inclusion of above is not possible we are open for inclusion of any other Offline Dictionary/Thesaurus database & GUI Discussion: #1: Mustafaa al-Hamdaani (mustafa1987) (2011-04-10 11:12:20) I agree, dictionaries are very important (especially for non-English speakers #2: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) (2011-07-23 20:08:39) For me, WordNet is a must-to-have tool. Fortunately it have very few dependencies so I can install the fedora package without problems (I need to manually create a menu entry, though). #3: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2011-07-26 11:39:07) Anybody interested in packaging these? #4: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2011-07-29 01:33:29) (reply to #3) I am currently packaging both artha and wordnet. Wordnet has already been submitted to the Education obs project for review and artha will be submitted soon. #5: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2011-07-29 18:44:37) I don't know if the specfic request is to get the two packages artha and wordnet into the Oss repositories or if any repository would do. Both packages are now in the Education repo, and I have submitted them to Factory for review as well. Based on this, the feature may now be considered done. + #6: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2011-08-01 10:22:54) (reply to #5) + Thanks a lot Ari! I wonder whether the Education repo is really the + right place for them to live, I suggest you double check this. + I mark this now as done. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312189
