Someone is working on adapting gutcheck to handle UTF8 as a spinoff of the effort to improve Guiguts' handling of languages other than English (following up on a suggestion you made to me); see below. Could the wwers please liaise with him on whether this could be a sanctioned project and also whether it should work under the gutcheck sourceforge project (if not we can do it under the guiguts project). Also are better tools needed to convert UTF8 to Latin-1 and ASCII. The same individual has compiled aspell 0.6 for Window which offers Unicode normalization. All are welcome to contribute views in the fora below. Developers in C and Perl are needed.

Hunter, if you go this route I would recommend that you fork the gutcheck code and call it something different per standard practice, which clearly distinguishes the branches, and reduces potential end-user confusion.

Jim Tinsley isn't really active as a WWer any more (though he's still on that mailing list; he is not on gutvol-d). Jim Tinsley <jtinsley@pobox.com> He will probably be thrilled to have someone do development. I don't know whether a fork is necessary, it might just be that we need some newer versions. I'll be happy to install updated versions on pglaf.org. We have gutcheck online at http://upload.pglaf.org, and this could offer multiple versions (it already offers multiple options). -- Greg
