Hi Carlos,

> Some more feedback: is the list of terms somewhere in svn? This tool is

At the moment the list of terms is online at 
http://www.kde.me.uk/index.php?page=Consistency+rules . This is the list of 
forms that the en_GB translators use(d) for proofreading, so it's more de 
facto than anything. The version of the word list used by the script is 
http://people.fruitsalad.org/frerich/sanitizer/tools/preferred_forms .

I think we should get some people together who are interested in pursuing 
this. I'm unfortunately not able to motivate myself for it. As I understand 
it, the HIG team will at some point take responsibility for this, so you 
would have to get in touch with them. I'll check this with Lauri. OK, I just 
did - what I said is correct.

Again, this will be decided at the HIG level. I will try to find a contact on 
the HIG team here at aKademy. About changing the script, Frerich can give you 
the link to the source, if you know any perl. I will try to get round to 
adding the feature myself, but so far, I haven't been productive enough at 
akademy to be able to add things to my immediate todo list, sorry.

Regards,
Philip
