    Looks exactly what I've been after... Good stuff.

    I'm lead programmer on Conglomerate (a user-friendly XML editor) and a
    long-term lurker on this list - plus I met a bunch of you guys at GUADEC
    in Dublin (Hi Alan and Martin!)

    I've just downloaded Enchant from your CVS server and am playing around
    with it. I hope to use it to get spell-checking working within
    Conglomerate.

    I'm also interested in a similar framework for doing grammar checking.
    There's a long-standing bug in your Bugzilla - to wrap GNU Style and
    Diction to do something similar. Their not very powerful, but at least
    once the API is in place there would be a framework for someone to write
    a decent grammar checking library.
