I'm trying to rally the troops...

[Mats Wilstrand]

+ 1 from me Pete. 

Björnke's Docu 2 is a little gem. It has a framework already 
in place to add new features and design from with ease. It's 
fast, works with any LC version, takes care of correcting 
some flaws of the structure and in the xml of the LC dictionary 
and I haven't seen any bugs! It would be the best starting point
for a community effort to improve the dictionary ecosystem and 
give us nice and needed features like the one Larry suggests.

Best regards
Mats
