Bug#522368: ITP: dico -- RFC 2229 compliant modular dictionary server



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : dico
  Version         : 2.0
  Upstream Authors: Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>, Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org>
* URL             : http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/dico/
* License         : GNU GPLv3
  Description     : RFC 2229 compliant modular dictionary server
Dico is an implementation of DICT server (RFC 2229).  It is fully
modular: the daemon itself (dicod) provides only the server
functionality, but it knows nothing about database formats.  Actual
searches are performed by functions supplied in loadable modules.  A
single module can serve one or more databases.

The package includes several modules for searching in different
dictionary databases, among them a module for dict.org databases and a
module for databases in Emacs "outline" format.

A console client program, `dico', is also included.

A module for lookups in Jim Breen's Kanjidic and Edict databases will
be added in future.
