+&gt;<i> Hello!
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We are just only one month before the version freeze and two weeks
+</I>&gt;<i> before planned release of Beta 1.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What was planned
+</I>&gt;<i> - to switch in Mageia packages from Aspell and Myspell to Hunspell
+</I>&gt;<i> - to support in Enchant only Hunspell and Voikko (the Finnish
+</I>&gt;<i> spell-checker)
+</I>&gt;<i> - permanently remove Myspell from Mga2
+</I>&gt;<i> - keep Aspell and Aspell dictionaries as a fall-back for old or
+</I>&gt;<i> software (or already not ported)
+</I>&gt;<i> - remove Ispell remnants
+</I>&gt;<i> * prepare policy for a Hunspell dictionary
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What was faced
+</I>&gt;<i> - lack of policy
+</I>&gt;<i> - Mozilla software (Firefox, Thunderbird, ...) is using Myspell
+</I>&gt;<i> - packages: alpine, kadu-module-spellchecker, kdelibs4-core, scribus,
+</I>&gt;<i> weechat-aspell, xedit, xfig, gedit, psi, claws-mail, eclipse-texlipse,
+</I>&gt;<i> mutt and some perl and php packages were affected
+</I>&gt;<i> - 120 Hunspell dictionaries needed to be rewritten
+</I>&gt;<i> - 76 Aspell dictionaries needed to stop providing a virtual package
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;enchant-dictionary&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i> - Some Myspell packages provide hyphenation and thesaurus - and it has
+</I>&gt;<i> to be fully replaced by mythes and hyphen dictionaries
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What was done
+</I>&gt;<i> - policy is written <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Hunspell-dictionary_policy">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Hunspell-dictionary_policy</A>
+</I>&gt;<i> * it is following Mageia rpm guidelines and spec policies,
+</I>&gt;<i> * we follow and base on the Fedora packages (mainly versions and
+</I>&gt;<i> sources) and therefore it's much easier to maintain
+</I>&gt;<i> - these packages already switched to Enchant or Hunspell
+</I>&gt;<i> * alpine, kadu-module-spellchecker, kdelibs4-core, weechat-aspell,
+</I>&gt;<i> xfig, gedit, psi, claws-mail, eclipse-texlipse
+</I>&gt;<i> (scribus is facing this request upstream, mutt and xedit still need a
+</I>&gt;<i> closer look)
+</I>&gt;<i> * Ispell Perl package was marked as obsoleted and to be deleted
+</I>&gt;<i> - c. 3/4 Hunspell dictionaries are already transformed
+</I>&gt;<i> - c. 1/3 Aspell dictionaries are already cleaned
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> To-do now (or before the local freeze for Beta 1)
+</I>&gt;<i> - transform the rest of Hunspell dictionaries
+</I>&gt;<i> - clean Aspell dictionaries
+</I>&gt;<i> - final cleanning of Mozilla applications
+</I>&gt;<i> * remove myspell definitely from Mga2
+</I>&gt;<i> *ETA 2012-02-14*
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> To-do before the release freeze
+</I>&gt;<i> - clean mythes, thesaurus (and autocorr) packages
+</I>&gt;<i> - review transformed dictionaries
+</I>&gt;<i> - try to switch to Enchant/Hunspell in two Perl modules and review php
+</I>&gt;<i> ones
+</I>Unfortunatelly I can't participate today the meeting.
+
+Status of the consolidation of the spellcheckers since last notification:
+- all hunspell dictionaries are transformed and are installing into
+right directories
+- imported and submitted dictionaries of some missing languages (for now
+gsc, lv, mg)
+- there was a bug request to move Mozilla applications to use hunspell
+(dmorgan, ansii, doktor were having a look)
+- there was a bug request to use external thesaurus dictionaries in
+Mozilla appls (thanks Luc!)
+
+To-do before the version freeze (I think, I can finish it tonight):
+- review additional ~50 hunspell dicts and use better obsoletion of myspell
+- stop providing enchant-dictionary in 2/3 aspell dicts
+
+To-do before the release freeze:
+- fix latest applications to use hunspell/enchant (xedit, mutt, some
+perl and php packages,..?)
+- fix bugs
