Salaam Nadim,
long time:)
Just to note that it's not worth the effort
extending Qamoose to support the dict protocol. There are plenty of free, open
source, secure and very efficient dict servers out there which can be used.
On debian at least, dictd for example comes shipped in standard. Dictd and
Qamoose can live side by side and serve different purposes (Web vs
dict).
Replication and sync are the only
possible issues I could see in having them feed the same data from different
sources, so if you think a simple conversion script+cron job
tandem automating the process for example is not enough (would that be
REALLY not enough for Arabeyes' needs?) then maybe adapting Qamoose to
source itself from dict formatted files for Web clients while leaving dictd
serve dict clients would be a better option (easier, more secure and requiring
much less efforts).
Regards,
Chahine
