[Gjiten-general] Still alive?

[François-Xavier T. <fx....@gm...>]

Guys/ladies/robots,

Just dropping in to say hi!

I've been using Gjiten on my Archlinux laptop for a while now, and it really is a great dictionary. I haven't found the partial match tool in any other Japanese dictionary, and it is priceless for a beginner like me as you can just type in whatever you guessed about a word without worrying about the rest.

I noticed the last change was back in 2006, any activity after that? Maybe you've all moved on, I guess.

Sad thing is, I can't really recommend Gjiten to most people as it is Linux-only, and people I know use Windows or OSX on a daily basis. Any plans (or existing binaries) for OSX or Windows?

That being said, I'm willing to try and build a bundle for OSX. I can't make any promises as to when, but I haven't been satisfied by other existing dictionaries on that platform (Tagaini Jisho is the best I could find, and it doesn't even come close to Gjiten), so IMO there's a void to fill ;)

Anyway, thanks for making a great application!
François-Xavier
