    You may have noticed if you read this list that some
    people are very keen to get Hebrew spellchecking
    working too. So you could also help with this. I
    personally want to be sure that we do the best
    possible
    as far as nikud, dagesh, etc as well and I think
    Tomas is of the same opinion.
