Hi ,I am a student applying for GSoC 2009. I had an idea of providing inbuilt support for English words found on the dictionary.

There was a thread a few days ago about Bloom filters, did you see that? Several people expressed an interest. I think that a Bloom filter would work well for the problem you describe i.e. checking password strength. Is this the sort of thing that you have in mind? For substring searching things get more complicated e.g. suffix trees. I guess there would be interest in that too, if it could be done in the available time.

As you know I would like to see Bloom Filters in Boost. It would be great if this support for dictionaries come with them. Vicente _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
