Pluvier: A French Dictionary Generator

Vermoot of the Plover Google Group and Discord has started a project to generate a LaSalle-compatible French dictionary for use with Plover.

From the description on the project's Github page:

This project aims at creating a dictionary for French steno, based on the TAO/LaSalle realtime theory, using a corpus downloaded from Lexique.org.

This corpus contains about 140,000 words, with a lot of metadata (phonetics, grammatical categories, gender and number, frequency, syllables, information about conjugation, etc) which will help in the creation of the steno dictionary, since some aspects of the theory rely/will have to rely on grammar and such.
