Beware, it is a massive undertaking, especially for the database maintainer.

A rigid review policy before submission is needed, or everything can easily fall apart. In the early stage, the tool and the database will be almost useless (too many misses), but that can quickly change, since the most frequently used words and their incarnations (whatever is the reason for slightly different form) will soon find its way into the database.

A "perfect" database might never emerge, but pretty complete one (hit ratio above 99%) would be more than useful.

Your call, I am not ready to make such a commitment. Once soft hyphens are implemented on prs505, I promise that I will use the tool and contribute to the growth of the database.
