hi, i think the stemmer_api is a very good idea / module.
To get other people using it, i suggest to separate it form the german stemmer module.
-> eg. someone using a stemmer in a other language does not even find this module.
If the stemmer_api is separated, then it has the chance to get adequate attention.
What do you think?

thanks for your interests, but when developing the api-module I contacted the authors of several other stemmers. The answers I got were that there is absolutely no need for such a module.

:-( this is topic that frustrates me.
see http://drupal.org/node/1156708#comment-4814424
at least 3 different modules have their own way to handle stop words and i don't think i found them all … and as you mentioned: there are other stemming modules too - what do these guys think how much effort it is to put in stop words for every module and every language - think of a site with only four languages and maybe 3 modules with some kind of stop word or stemming.

as far as I remember they argued that the hard coded lists of stop words and exception are valid and sufficient. And I did not see any other stemmer offering a way to online modify these lists.
But of course: I can hand over the api-module to you :-)

Thomas_Zahreddin CreditAttribution: Thomas_Zahreddin commentedhm, i'd love to have a stemmer / stop word api,
but i do not have the time to maintain this module, and also with the perspective that this is a api with only one module using it.
But is it a issue for D8?
Comment #5
schildi CreditAttribution: schildi commentedit's not really clear to me what you want and is not possible with the current release of the module.
Other stemmers should interact with the api-module with only tiny modifications (compare the three small function at top of file de_stemmer.module).

schildi CreditAttribution: schildi commentedIt took me about one hour to set up a patch which makes the api functionalities available for the english porter stemmer (see attached patch for D7).
