Sounds reasonable. Indeed, such audit would be needed to figure out an optimal schema and the database. As for TODO, it seems it was altered in 2014 - we shouldn't expect much to happen without our...

@rinigus At first I would start with "auditing" the database structure/queries since the author has some proposed schema changes listed in the TODO:...

It looks that the data is stored in SQLite, as indicated by src/lib/predictors/dbconnector. If true, we may improve performance and storage by looking into more specialized database format. With the...

Subtitles is a good idea - but why not to use http://corpus.nytud.hu/mnsz/index_eng.html ? Let the professionals do the work that you pay them to do anyway through the taxes :) As for performance,...

Great, great work. Thank you very much. Just a thought from someone ignorant in this field. Would it be possible in a way to use the language dictionaries from aspell, unspell, whatever, to generate...

I did not know about this project. I gather it is open source, so this means using it would mean smaller amount of royalties to pay. Even if the quality of the prediction were not better, in the long...

Presage should be tested with sailfishOS as soon as possible. If the prediction engine is good then the virtual keybosrd could be made smaller.

I think the text prediction could be greatly improved by using [Presage](http://presage.sourceforge.net/) instead of the current XT9 engine. Here's a...
