Oh, I can talk.= I just am always hesitant to talk about what I "plan" to
do or "might" do, etc. Talk is cheap, as they say. ;)

= All I've got so far is code that parses cmavo.txt, gismu.txt, and
noralu= jv.txt and produces lists (arrays and hashes) where words can be
looked = up and so on.

I know those lists are old, but they were handy. If I do anythingreally serious, I will work with data from jbovlaste instead.

Base= d on the little code I have, I did a little web templating (I
didn't use= Rails) and created a simple tool.

It's not "officially" released yet, but why not let peopl= e look
at it?
