Lojban Word Processor

[John Arley Burns <hezekiah@cs.utexas.edu>]

Naturally anyone could use my auto-dictionary program, it's GPL'd. The
only part not truely cross-platform is the hashed database, but I
believe there are Perl modules to fix this now. Anyone writing in perl
could piggyback off this effort. In addition, perl is very
cross-platform, and the perl Gtk module will work with unix and
windows and mac.

Interesting features specific to lojban would include:

Lojban grammar checker (a parser)

Lojban grammar diagram (parser tree)

Lojban-*/*-Lojban dictionary for many * languages

Using unicode and multi-locale, we could support many languages

Perlmacs/Emacs interface?

Smart spell checkers (can use GNU ispell)

Auto-translator of Lojban-*, for supported *'s (this is the most
  exciting part, and the most work. But only lojban could currently
  give you good quality auto-translation)

Web links from grammar diagram to online reference grammar

Simplified 'comprehension-test' generator using Nick's semantic
  analyzer, for simple sentences. Useful for teaching and
  self-evaluation.

Allow easy, automated submission of lojban writings to the lojban
  archive.

LaTeX markup output of a Lojban LaTeX environment to make the quotes,
  periods, case, and "ni'o"s look nice in printed/postscript output.

Auto-convert document to HTML, Lojban XML, DocBook

Auto spelling converters (s/h/H/g; s/'/h/g; and more sophisticated
case changing, indenting).

Auto formatting of quotations, prenex (into TeX math? :-), math
expressions, etc. This would probably be part of the LaTeX package,
but could also have useful HTML/XML and DocBook output.

Just some ideas...
