Description Marco A.G.Pinto 2024-04-30 04:29:57 UTC 
Heya,

Just to let you know:
Since the South African dictionary isn't maintained any more, I am going to fork it.

As you know, it is me who has been addressing issues in it and improving the affix flags.

Let me just finish the PhD and I will take care of en_ZA.

My first improvement, after I am a free man (PhD), will be to add all proper names from en_GB into en_ZA.

Then, I will start adding plurals and possessives, like I have been doing for en_GB.

Also, Kevin Atkinson plans to pass his US+CA+AU dictionaries to other people, so the next year is a promising year for English dictionaries' development.

Will you do commits towards this bug report or was this purely for announcing?

Hi,

It is more for announcing, as I didn't find a proper place to do it.

:-)

Ok, I will close. A more proper place would have been the developer mailing list, for example.
