+<PRE>Hello!
+
+We are just only one month before the version freeze and two weeks
+before planned release of Beta 1.
+
+What was planned
+- to switch in Mageia packages from Aspell and Myspell to Hunspell
+- to support in Enchant only Hunspell and Voikko (the Finnish spell-checker)
+- permanently remove Myspell from Mga2
+- keep Aspell and Aspell dictionaries as a fall-back for old or software
+(or already not ported)
+- remove Ispell remnants
+* prepare policy for a Hunspell dictionary
+
+What was faced
+- lack of policy
+- Mozilla software (Firefox, Thunderbird, ...) is using Myspell
+- packages: alpine, kadu-module-spellchecker, kdelibs4-core, scribus,
+weechat-aspell, xedit, xfig, gedit, psi, claws-mail, eclipse-texlipse,
+mutt and some perl and php packages were affected
+- 120 Hunspell dictionaries needed to be rewritten
+- 76 Aspell dictionaries needed to stop providing a virtual package
+&quot;enchant-dictionary&quot;
+- Some Myspell packages provide hyphenation and thesaurus - and it has
+to be fully replaced by mythes and hyphen dictionaries
+
+What was done
+- policy is written <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Hunspell-dictionary_policy">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Hunspell-dictionary_policy</A>
+* it is following Mageia rpm guidelines and spec policies,
+* we follow and base on the Fedora packages (mainly versions and
+sources) and therefore it's much easier to maintain
+- these packages already switched to Enchant or Hunspell
+* alpine, kadu-module-spellchecker, kdelibs4-core, weechat-aspell,
+xfig, gedit, psi, claws-mail, eclipse-texlipse
+(scribus is facing this request upstream, mutt and xedit still need a
+closer look)
+* Ispell Perl package was marked as obsoleted and to be deleted
+- c. 3/4 Hunspell dictionaries are already transformed
+- c. 1/3 Aspell dictionaries are already cleaned
+
+To-do now (or before the local freeze for Beta 1)
+- transform the rest of Hunspell dictionaries
+- clean Aspell dictionaries
+- final cleanning of Mozilla applications
+* remove myspell definitely from Mga2
+*ETA 2012-02-14*
+
+To-do before the release freeze
+- clean mythes, thesaurus (and autocorr) packages
+- review transformed dictionaries
+- try to switch to Enchant/Hunspell in two Perl modules and review php ones
+</PRE>
