Hi,

Lightproof (from “lightweight proofreader”) is a Python grammar
checker framework for LibreOffice. Default English, Hungarian and
Russian grammar checkers of LibreOffice 3.5 are based on Lightproof
(also the French Grammalecte:
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/grammalecte).

Here is an introduction about the concept of Lightproof and grammar
checker development for LibreOffice:

Source: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof or see
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof/tree/

Cloning:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof

Compiling of the English grammar checker extension:

python make.py src/en/en.cfg

There is also a new editor extension to speed up the rule development
(it works without the source code, too):

Best regards,
László
