cocoAspell
by rmaltete
cocoAspell is Mac OS X interface to Aspell -- A more intelligent Ispell -- that is being developed by Kevin Atkinson. Here is a brief snippet of how Kevin describes Aspell on his web site:
Aspell is an Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with possible suggestions than Ispell does. In fact recent tests shows that it even does better than Microsoft Word 97's spell checker or just about any other spell checker I have seen. It also has support for checking (La)TeX and HTML files, and run time support for other non English languages.

And so for 20 years now these folks --- *the* shining lights, in many ways, of "practical" programming language, operating systems, and general systems research --- have continued to fail to "get" the fundamental practical needs of everyday programmers working in The Real World.

You can accomplish all of this via JavaScript.Scripts include metadata that provide details about the script, including target sites and sites that should never apply. The following metadata elements may be used: * Name: The name assigned to the script. It is displayed when the script is installed, as well as within the Manage Scripts window. * Namespace: The namespace used to distinguish scripts when more than one has the same name. (This is the same approach as used in programming languages like Java and C#.) * Description: A brief description of the script’s purpose. * Include: A list of URLs associated with the script (i.e., the URLs for running the script). The URLs may include wildcard characters (*). Multiple URLs appear on their own line. * Exclude: A list of URLs for which the scripts will never run. Multiple entries appear on their own line.

Linguistics Meets Linux: Morphix-NLP
by m.meixide
NLP (Natural Language Processing) has been an important research field for about 40 years. Incorporating lingustics and computer science methods, this broad topic has many different application areas as well as important problems to solve. Analysing huge files of different languages, discovering patterns, making transformations, categorizing text, analysing and synthesizing speech, making the computers understand the semantics of language data, etc. are all related to NLP in one way or the other.

Gearman
by Xavier Lacot
Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates.
One type of asynchronous and worker solution I could use in the implementation of asynchronousity in Symfony's media plugin
