==== Description: ====
Many web applications allow users to submit content that is displayed to
other users or the general public. For example, laconica displays 140
character microblog entries submitted by users, libre.fm displays song titles
submitted by users, and wordpress displays comments submitted by blog readers.
Some of the content may not be appropriate for minors, or it may be offensive
to some adults. A web service for cleaning out the vulgarities before a
message is posted would be something that a site administrator might want to
have.

Several software vendors have identified the need for such a service. CDYNE
has developed "Profanity Filter" and WEBFURTHER has developed "webpurify".
However, there is currently no Free Software profanity filtering web service.

scurrility will fill that void and provide a a vulgarity filtering SOAP web
service. The server will be written in PHP and use MySQL for storing it's bad
word list. The nusoap library will provide the SOAP interface.

Aside from the SOAP server, the project will develop example client software
in many programming languages. Plugins and/or patches for various Free
Software web applications (laconica, libre.fm, etc) will be developed.


==== Other Software Required: ====
Dependencies

nusoap-0.7.3 LGPL 2.1+ http://nusoap.sourceforge.net/

Software needed to run scurrility

mysql-5.0+ GPLv2 http://mysql.com
php-5+ PHP http://php.net


==== Other Comments: ====
The tarball includes a "bad word" list which contains hundreds of swears. The
file is util/wordlist.txt If the list of words isn't something you want hosted
here because of the profanity, I can host the word list on another server
and/or create a way for users to build there own list.
