Why isn't there an open source Klingon Dictionary project?<div><br></div><div>I am a Qt Programmer, it'd be easy to come up with a friendly GUI interface, the dictionary core code though would take some time to develop if you want to search Klingon words, english translations, approximations, etc, a backend DB would have to be embedded and probably a db file of Klingon words and translations maintained on the side.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sounds like a lot of people maintain their own versions, why not maintain a single dictionary. Based on popular agreement conflicting words could have different tags like cannon, new english, etc...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it because there's no such existing project or because people like to maintain their own separate versions and don't want to share/etc?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 8:39 AM, Terrence Donnelly <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:terrence.donnelly@sbcglobal.net">terrence.donnelly@sbcglobal.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It's been the single most helpful resource outside of Voragh's (slowly shared) Annotated Klingon Dictionary.<br>
<br>Also, for ease, I formatted and posted to reddit (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/tlhInganHol/comments/metg3/klcp_500_words/" target="_blank">http://www.reddit.com/r/tlhInganHol/comments/metg3/klcp_500_words/</a>) the 500 Basic Words the Beginner's Grammarians need to know, as they're the most basic and useful words in the Klingon Dictionary.<br>
