Description Thomas Arnhold 2013-03-06 00:28:28 UTC

The code base is full of spelling mistakes. It would be useful to evaluate existing spell checking software on the Libreoffice code to check comments and/or strings for spelling mistakes in the source.

Possible candidates to evaluate:

http://www.kegel.com/kerspell/
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Code_Checking
https://code.google.com/p/spellcode/

Maybe more.

developer feedback needed to see if it's worth it.
changing status to NEW.

Not worth it.
