Description : latin parser and translation aid
Whittakers Words is a program that takes in words in latin,
and analyzes them to determine the stems, case, form, and any
possible translations. It can also provide latin words with
a given translation, going from latin to english. It is
an invaluble tool for latin users, be they experts or
new learners.
Words was created by Willam Whitaker (1936-2010) as a
curiosity that demonstrated his new programming language,
Ada. It was since improved and iterated on, ported away
from is DOS roots, and given an online access point.
- ----------------------------------------
This package, as mentioned above, is increadibly useful for
working with latin texts. As such, most latin teachers
and students will use it often: I certainly have. I
am not aware with any other packaged program with the
same functionality, and while there do exist other, similar
programs, they are comparativly inaccurate and weak.
I plan on maintaining it mostly on my own, with aid from
upstream. I *will* need a sponsor to upload it, and if
anyone is intrested in co-maintaing I would be happy for
the help. A mentor would probably also be needed,
as I have never actually made a package from scratch
before.
