I quickly put together an XSL stylesheet to convert a Europass CV XML file to a EuropeCV LaTeX file. It is currently in a beta stage as it can only process English CVs and as not everything gets converted correctly yet.
You can convert your files online or download the XSL stylesheet to adapt it to your own needs.
The development of my grammar and style checker for the Luxembourgish language is coming along nicely. As you can see on the screenshot below, the OpenOffice.org integration is mostly finished. Read on for more information.
Recently, the “Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean“, or “Mudam” for short, opened its doors in Luxembourg City. As you could expect from such a high cost project, they have a website (which apparently has already been online for some time). I usually have a high tolerance rate considering the quality of websites, but nevertheless I absolutely dislike what they have thrown out into the world wide web.

Over the weekend I started writing what will be the first ever developed grammar and style checker for the Luxembourgish language. Unfortunately exams at university start in about a month, so I won’t really be able to continue working on it till the beginning of August. Read on for a little more about what I’ve done already and what I planned to do.

I finally completed writing the toolset that I wrote for spellchecker.lu. Those tools parse text files to create text corpora, classify new words using statistical methods, detect common spelling mistakes, generate and upload the dictionary files (as well as the soon-to-be-released debian packages) and they allow me to control and maintain the online checker. All of this is now as simple as it could possibly be. For all of you that always wanted to get a glimpse of what’s going on “behind the scenes” of spellchecker.lu, I prepared a few screenshots of the graphical user interface.
As of today, spellchecker.lu is online. It features a Luxembourgish spellchecking dictionary for OpenOffice.org, an additional plugin that corrects a special rule which hunspell can’t handle, as well as an “online checker” based on hunspell.
PS: The site is in Luxembourgish, but international content will follow soon.

As I currently have to work quite a lot for university, I am unable to work on the spellchecker.lu-project for the next few weeks. Therefor we will not be able to follow the announced release date of the 2nd of February 2006. To that effect, the project has been postponed and a new release date will be announced soon.
Yesterday evening I set up an announcement page for the spellchecking-project I am currently working on with friends of mine. Check out spellchecker.lu. Official release date will be the 2nd of February 2006. The countdown is running…
