Hi,
I'll start coding ASAP. I hope it will be available in a few weeks.
Now to answer your questions:
Would it be optional?Yes, it MUST be optional, because ir requires the ASPELL GNU spell checking tool. Depending on system's performance can be a lille slow.
The mechanism consists in a button added next to the editing memo. when clicked it invokes a popup window that behaves like the MS Word spell checking window ( Higligths the misspelled word on the text, shows a list of suggestions and so on. )
Could it be turned on or off for,- The entire Site?
- An entire Course
- Each specific Activity?
Well, I don't see wy it can't be done. But actually I don't have much experience in programming in the moogle environment. I supose that there will be no problem in that.
Could it be for different languages?Yes, but the system administrator will have to install the dictionaries for the ASPELL engine.
