orchard-street-wordlists's Issues

How can/should I license these word lists?

It's my understanding that all of the text that makes up Wikipedia is dual-licensed as both Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (โ€œCC BY-SAโ€), and GNU Free Documentation License (โ€œGFDLโ€). Note that technically this project uses data from dumps.wikimedia.org, which seems to have the same licensing terms.

Since all of the Orchard Street Wordlists use Wikipedia text data (they are partially comprised of frequently used words from Wikipedia), and since CC BY-SA 3.0 since it is a "ShareALike" license, I have licensed all of the Orchard Street Wordlists under CC BY-SA 3.0. (I've heard mixed things about GFDL...)

However, I'd like to license the lists under the newer CC BY-SA version 4.0 license, to take advantage of the improvements in the 4.0 suite of licenses, as Creative Commons recommends.

My question is: Would licensing these word lists under CC BY-SA 4.0 violate Wikipedia's CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing? Creative Commons has a guide to upgrading to 4.0, which seems to imply that I can't just bump from 3.0 to 4.0, but I'm not sure. I may be able to dual-license under both 3.0 and 4.0? I welcome input here!

Feature request: Orchard Street word list for Dvorak and Colemak typists

I'm a Dvorak typist myself, so I would be especially interested in what such a word list would look like. Also knowing that Colemak has found a strong following of typists, it would be interesting to see that list as well.

Of course, both of us are niche typists compared to the larger typing world, so it's understandable if you make this request very low priority.

Should exact homophones be removed from the lists?

Here's the list I have so far. The rule is, if both words are present, the second one is removed.
