I should probably introduce myself properly at some point, but quick version: I've been learning Lojban for the past few months, lurking on the lists and such. I don't know how many of you have a Mac, or indeed Leopard, but there's a dictionary application which provides system- wide dictionary services (you can hover over a word, press a key combo and get a pop-up definition – pretty cool). I thought it would be mega- handy if I had a Lojban dictionary for this service so I made one :) It's generated from the English jbovlaste XML export (though I'm sure I could run to other languages if needed) so any issues about content should be directed there. If you have a Mac and Leopard, give it a go and let me know what you think. I've put it up on my very bare-bones website here: http://stuff.burntout.net/lojbanosxdictionary/ I haven't tested it on 10.4 as I don't have a 10.4 installation lying around but if you do give it a go and report back! 10.4 had the dictionary thing too but I don't know if they changed the format or not with 10.5. Apple certainly only just provided the tool to build dictionaries with 10.5. The generator is included, with a Readme, but feel free to contact me either directly or through this thread about that too. It's all automated apart from one dependency. Patches are welcome :) Also, Powers That Be, feel free to link/rehost/whatever it on wherever (it may help with the recently-discussed LRWTF as it's a pretty friendly gateway to Lojban words – well, for Mac users anyway ;) ), just please credit me and add your name to the Readme if you change the distribution. Hope this is of use to someone else too...
