Hi Piotr

For the archive's sake, I started a new thread on this topic:

Heh, that takes me back to when I upgraded all (minus one or two
auto-generated) dictionaries to P5 ;-)

Yes, I realised that you did that :). It actually benefits our dictionaries. I'm
making slow progress, but it helps removing duplicated entries and improves our
infrastructure. I'm fixing bugs on the way :).

- We should avoid editing auto-generated dictionaries in this way (and
preferably give a good explanation what else to do in case of a bad entry).

Is there anything I could do to ease this process? I remember that we want to
implement appInfo[^1]. I could expose this information in the API, if that
would
help LCOD.

Thing is that the current feature requests (read: FRs I/we have posted to the
TEI Council in mid-July) are still not handled, and I'm hesitant to commit to
work on appInfo, because apparently the three tickets in the works now seem a
bit too much for the Council.

I expected this to be settled already, but that's my fault. I'd like to have a
free text field with human readable content. The attributes should contain the
name, the version and *optionally* the parameters of the importer. These could
be child elements as well.

BTW, I'm gonna be mentoring and give a talk at the Lexical Data Masteclass in
Berlin, next week (https://lexmc.sciencesconf.org/), so I'll be sure to drop
the project name there. I hope to generate at least a few new visits and who
knows, maybe even recruit a few new project members.

Good luck, we ought to do that regularly, even if most of the time nobody is
interested ;). But we are nearly "mobile" :). That might convince people.

Thanks
Sebastian
