Hi,

I have been watching several word processor projects for a while, and most
of them seem to end before they start.  Is anyone interested in starting a
somewhat simple word processor project for the GNOME?  I've got quite a
few of the requirements (and limits!) worked out at this point, and some
of the data structures such as the file format.  Perhaps most importantly,
I would like it to be thoroughly internationalized, especially in the
aspect of CSJ characters which I have such trouble finding applications
for.

However, as my background is only in Java (thanks, Oswego) there are
several questions I have as to how one would implement certain data
structures in C efficiently - especially a dynamic string buffer for the
document's text.  If anyone with a reasonable C background would like to
assist me in getting this project off the ground, and maybe answer some
of my foolish questions about C as I'm trying to work through the
differences between it and Java, I'd like to hear from you.  If I get a
good response I'll put up a few pages I've been working on describing the
details.

dewa, mata!
