This page exists so that you can jump in if you want to help developing the best dictionary program ever (mind you: it's not even close).

At this time the source code is very simple. It contains of a converter, that takes definitions from WordNet 1.6 files and turns them into Palm *.pdb database doing some compression. There is a major entry barrier: it's written in LISP (I use Franz's free evaulation version running under Linux). My first implementation was a horrible mix of TCL and C code. I wanted to have one one program to handle that and I wanted to learn LISP so I ended up recoding this in LISP. LISP is great but it lacks standards in a few important areas (like regular expresions) and is not that great when you want to manipulate strings. I hate perl so I guess the middle ground would be Python, but I don't have the time to recode my converter. It does its job.
