[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Coup de foudre

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


John B Everitt <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: I expect to use GNU Free documentation license too in the 
documentation [sic].  Although this one size fits all sucks, because where does 
XML fit in, DTDs, XLST\'s etc, documentation or code?
Package: Coup de foudre
System name: cdf
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

In a nutshell it is a plan for a universal dictionary/thesaurus covering 
multiple idioms (ideas) that are ordered by level of abstraction.  The idea is 
that one can read in any electronic written medium and be able to retrieve the 
word definition[s] from multiple dictionaries, retrieve related ideas and 
related non-English words.  It is a 21st century hyperlinked dictionary.

This is a drastic simplification.  The idea is a free dictionary for all 
nations, all people and the underlying ethic is to allow us all to understand 
the underlying meaning of any website regardless of where it was written. 
Giving people the underlying tools to understand eachother.

It does not exist yet other than the initial paper.  The initial paper is 
licensed using the GNU documentation license.  For all those non-believers I 
have uploaded it to one of my websites: http://www.firetrench.com/coup.pdf
