@zverok Fwiw, I really enjoy the series! Spell checkers may be a little niche, but an interesting topic nonetheless.

Trying to reach the audience with my "Rebuilding the spellchecker series", now on Medium, too: medium.com/spylls-rebuild… (or, you can follow the author: zverok.medium.com — will write more on open data and understanding it, after I'll be done with this one)

If you like configuring XML authoring tools, writing XSLTs and XProc pipelines, then I have a job for you: AWS is hiring a Content Services Systems Development Engineer. amazon.jobs/en/jobs/143002…

Starting from Fonto 7.13, the Fonto editor will include tooling to diagnose some common mistakes that we see in some editors. Martin Middel wrote a blogpost on improving the performance of implementations of the Fonto editor. fontoxml.com/blog/make-your… #xpath #performance

Stichting Starborn completed it's first project to repair the Union Primary School in Eldoret, Kenya. This raises the quality of life for children. Replaced 1.200 windows and did other repairs. #thanks for everyone involved. See lnkd.in/djgBT4Q for an impression.

What is Structured Content? The advantages of structured content above unstructured content clearly explained. fontoxml.com/blog/what-is-s… #structuredcontent #xml

@adamretter @fdbnosql Sure, make sense. Results should indeed by verifiable by others. Glad to hear you're making progress!

@devatwork @fdbnosql Hi Bert, right now we don’t have a public benchmark tool that we can share. I am a little reluctant to release benchmarks, without giving others the ability to redproduce the results. We are working towards it...

Today’s nightly build includes some initial optimisation work. For some XQuery, retrieving the text content of a node is now upto 30 times faster :-) #nosql #xmldb #xml #xquery

@FontoXML 7.11: "(Drag &) Drop it like it’s hot" just shipped. And hot it is! Both in terms of features as well as the temperature in the Netherlands today. See fontoxml.com/blog/release-7… for all the highlights.

On 8 and 9 October 2020, The second Declarative Amsterdam conference will take place at CWI (Science Park, Amsterdam). The conference focuses on the technologies and methods used for declarative programming and declarative data. Call for papers at declarative.amsterdam

Normally you are used to a lighthearted tweet from us. This time we would like to express our hope that everyone is and will stay safe. We just released Fonto 7.10. More details on our blog: blog.fontoxml.com/release-7-10-1…

@dalapeyre Our partner @AriesSystems uses @FontoXML and JATS in their products. There's also various NISO-STS implementations out there.

Any experience out there with FontoXML and JATS, BITS, or STS? -Lapeyre #xmlprague

We found that in some cases, Fonto has issues when running in Chrome 80. As you would expect, we are on top of this! If you experience any odd behavior using Fonto in Chrome 80, please let us know. In Firefox, Fonto works as expected. We're working on a solution. Stay tuned.

@FontoXML just shipped our Christmas present in the form of the 7.9 release. This includes a new Find&Replace experience, table editing performance boost, multi-version SDK support and more. See blog.fontoxml.com/release-7-9-we… for details.

@brisvegas1 MinHash using FNV-1a with pipelined shingeling and a heuristic to skip strings that are very different in length. Impl is inspired by gudok.xyz/minhash1/

@devatwork I would love to know more - what approach where you using.

Optimized a string similarity algorithm: ~34x speedup and 0 allocations amortised. Learned a lot today.

We're about to enter feature freeze for the upcoming @FontoXML 7.9 release. Next two weeks are #QA and the #GA is set for the 19th to wrap up this year.

Full-force QA testing by team @FontoXML for the last 3 days. Red are results found, green are results resolved. 8 more days until 7.8 release.

Graphifi can provide services to help understand how structured authoring can benefit a business and configure and incorporate Fonto into a wider content ecosystem.
