Bug#164490: ITP: dictionary-el -- Dictionary Client for Emacs

[Aaron M.Ucko <ucko@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : dictionary-el
  Version         : 1.8.3
  Upstream Author : Torsten Hilbrich <dictionary@myrkr.in-berlin.de>

  Description     : Dictionary Client for Emacs
dictionary-el is a DICT (RFC 2229) client for (X)Emacs, with support
for brace-delimited cross references and UTF-8-encoded entries.

Rationale: While this package might not be as general as lookup-el, it
has some key advantages over the latter:
* Because it only supports the one protocol, it is several times smaller.
* Its documentation is in English rather than Japanese, making the package
  accessible to a wider audience.
* It doesn't insist on interpreting non-ASCII characters as Japanese.
