The project officially started on October 4th, 2008, when I presented it at the first
malagasy barcamp. Although a tremendous work has been done before, for almost 4 years, I needed this little show to make people aware of it, and to boost my involvement. This Roadmap will list all I plan to do, and then previous achievements of this project.
- April 2021:
- I will release the source code for the API along with instructions about how to install it in your own servers.
- February 2021, 25th:
- A WordPress Gutenberg plugin was released. If you use a WordPress powered website to publish texts in malagasy, you have to [spam?]https://sourceforge.net/projects/tsipelina/files/[/spam?] at Sourceforge, and decompress it into a folder called mg-spell at wp-content/plugins. Then send me the website name (mahefa-at-homemade.mg) and activate the plugin and that's it.
- January 2021, 15th:
- I restart adding new words to the database. When you use the spellchecker, all text marked as spelling errors will be logged into a file. I will manually check that file to find false negatives. Then, I will try to add these new words to the database. When doing this, I'm adding not only the newly found word, but all words sharing the same root. This increases the database size very quickly.
- November 2008, 30th:
- The online spell checker is added to the Sourceforge project under Affero GPL License.
- October 2008, 31st:
- Online spell checker is set up. People will be able to spell check a malagasy website, or enter ASCII texts into a form, and the online spell checker will show words it doesn't recognize.
- October 2008, 12th:
- Wiki set up
- Sourceforge project created
