!!Since last time

__Polderland:__

!internal discussion on providing tools:
  - can't find them in the contract, but we see the advantages of a short
    development loop on your side.
  - Tools would be for unix/linux environment, we'll look into transfer to Mac:
      "makelex" - lexicon generator.
      "PSC_test" testbed for unix/linux-environment
       (+ stand-alone speller for unix/linux)
  Have to disable general-purpose usability and make it Sami-specific
  (and   possibly time-delimited) before handing it over to you.

!hyphenator: will be based on speller data (look-up hyphenation in stead of pattern hyphenation)

__Divvun:__
* made several linguistic updates and corrections, our generated word list now
  exceeds the file size limit of our computer (linux, 2Gb limit).


__Next:__
New drop of the speller as soon as the Divvun gang can deliver updated data
files.


!!Possible issues

!Speller behaviour with "non-alphabetic" chars

Example: __Storasjõ__ (should be __Storasjö__)

The underlining does not include the last character, "õ", which seems
counterintuitive.

!!Next meeting

Next Tuesday (7.11.) at the usual time.

!!!TODO:
* add all latin characters, including diacritics, to string token set (__PLD__)
* continue to improve hyphenation (__Sjur__ and __Thomas__)
** working on it
* continue with speller data generation/conversion (__Tomi__)
** still continues
** Divvun could provide partial data in PLX format for testing and feedback
   purposes
* get language codes to work with Mac Office 2004 (and check MacOffice 2007)
  (__Polderland__)
* deliver Lule Sámi hyphenation test data (__Sjur__ and __Børre__)
** the data is hyphenated, but it was not added to the download area.
* send the Skolt Sámi characters to Polderland (__Sjur__)
