Well,
I am interested in the "dict" protocol described
in RFC 2229 at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2229.txt
you can test it at http://www.dict.org
It can give you definitions but also similar written words by
using "Match words within Levenshtein disance one" (in advanced query)
and also phoneticaly similar words by using "SOUNDEX algorithm"
(advanced query).
Well, it's very interesting and i plan to read the RFC and could
eventually
work on making a plug-in.
So it would be good to talk about it to the dev ML, (it's CCed)
The only problem (currently) is that there are only american and english
online dictionnaries that use the dict protocol.
Any other ideas ?
