Just throwing in my 2 eurocents. The Dutch OO.o l10n team is currently
working on a ruleset for LanguageTool[1], a basic grammar checking
engine that already supports English, German and Polish. In a short
timeframe they have been able to get promising results. The engine is
also able to give suggestions.
What I'm trying to say is this: if Sonnet/Elixir is going to provide a
grammar checking backend, it shouldn't be tied to just link-grammar. I
don't think the community is big enough (in any case the Dutch one) to
support two distinct grammar checking rulesets.
