Sonnet In The Press

Nathan Sanders of OSTG interviewed me for an article last week. The result has just been published on Linux.com in an article entitled, "KDE 4's Sonnet will turbocharge language processing."

Overall, I'm pleased with the coverage, but I do have a few misgivings; although, any minor errors likely are my fault for providing limited explanations in the interview. The scope my concern of is largely limited to grandiose statements I did not intend. For example, "[I]mproved multilingual support is the "most requested change" from KDE 3..." I didn't really mean this; it was a context sensitive statement. I meant something such as, "Excluding technical issues like, 'KSpell doesn't work for me' The most requested features for KSpell that I know of (from end users) involve improving its multilingual support." But, requesting extra qualifiers for my statements is more likely an exercise in vanity than in promoting greater truth.

I will mention, the article doesn't note the work of David Sweet. I'm not familiar with what exactly he did, but my understanding is that he wrote much of the original KSpell and thus much deserves some credit.
