Releasing CoGrOO 1.1

       We are happy to announce an easier-to-install version of CoGrOO (Grammar Checker to OpenOffice), the only open source grammar checker to Portuguese language.
       This project was sponsored by FINEP (Free Software Edictal/2003), University of São Paulo and University Center Senac-SP, and is hosted at project incubator of FAPESP. This project has lasted two and a half years and had 14 collaborators.
       UPDATE: Currently, we don't have any sponsor; only one programmer is sponsored by Google SoC (Google Summer of Code).
       This version doesn't upgrade CoGrOO itself, it's just an upgrade to its installer. For example, you don't need to reboot your machine after installing, neither downloading Perl for Windows, because we embedded it to ease your life!
       Software can be downloaded at:

Linux Version:
     Coming soon!
Windows Version:

       Although it's very easy to install, we are going to give some tips:

Windows:
1) OpenOffice cannot be running during installation process (nor the OOo Quick Initializator).
2) Make sure you have Java languages installed. Sun's JRE is available in www.javasoft.com .
3) Download CoGrOO Windows version installer.
4) Run installer.
5) Remaining steps are very intuitive (Next, Next, Next....). The final part of this installation process takes some time; don't worry!

Lançamento do CoGrOO 1.1

       Temos o prazer de anunciar o lançamento de uma versão mais fácil de instalar do CoGrOO (Corretor Gramatical acoplável ao OpenOffice), o único corretor gramatical em software livre para a língua portuguesa.
       Este projeto foi patrocinado pela FINEP (Edital de Software Livre/2003), pela Universidade de São Paulo e pelo Centro Universitário SENAC-SP, e é hospedado na incubadora de projetos da FAPESP. O projeto durou dois anos e meio e contou com o trabalho de 14 colaboradores.
       ATUALIZAÇÃO: Atualmente estamos sem patrocinadores; apenas um dos nossos programadores está sendo patrocinado pelo Google SoC (Google Summer of Code).
       Esta versão não é uma atualização do CoGrOO em si, mas apenas do seu instalador. Por exemplo, você não precisa mais rebootar sua máquina após a instalação, nem baixar o perl no Windows, porque nós o embutimos no CoGrOO para facilitar sua vida!
       O software pode ser baixado em:

Versão Linux:
     Em breve!
Versão Windows:

É muito fácil instalar, mas vamos dar umas dicas para ajudar:

Windows:
1) O OpenOffice não pode estar rodando durante a instalação (nem aquele Inicializador Rápido!).
2) Certifique-se de ter instalado a linguagem java. Instale o JRE da Sun (disponível em www.javasoft.com).
3) Baixe o arquivo indicado acima.
4) Rode o instalador.
5) O resto é muito intuitivo (Next, Next, Next, ....). A parte final do processo de instalação é um pouco demorada; não se preocupe, pois é assim mesmo.

Releasing CoGrOO 1.0

       We are happy to announce the first version of CoGrOO (Grammar Checker to OpenOffice), the only open source grammar checker to Portuguese language.
       This project was sponsored by FINEP (Free Software Edictal/2003), University of São Paulo and University Center Senac-SP, and is hosted at project incubator of FAPESP. This project has lasted two and a half years and had 12 collaborators.
       CoGrOO runs with OpenOffice.org (OOo) 1.X and 2.0. It is multi-platform, running in Linux and Windows (other ports will come, because our grammar checker server was implemented in Perl and GUI, in java).
       Software can be download at:

Linux Version:
http://cogroo.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/down/builds/cogroo_installer_linux.bin
Windows Version:
http://cogroo.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/down/builds/cogroo_installer_windows.exe

       Although it's easy to install, we are going to give some tips:

Linux:
1) OpenOffice cannot be running during installation process (nor the OOo Quick Initializator).
2) Make sure you have Perl and Java languages installed (install Sun's JRE instead of gcj/gij).
3) You need to have pt_br locale installed.
4) Download CoGrOO Linux version installer.
5) Make this file an executable; use the following command:  chmod +x cogroo_installer_linux.bin
6) As root, invoke the installer:  ./cogroo_installer_linux.bin
7) The installation process is fairly intuitive (Next, Next, Next....). The final part of this installation process takes some time; don't worry!

Windows:
1) OpenOffice cannot be running during installation process (nor the OOo Quick Initializator).
2) Make sure you have Perl and Java languages installed. Sun's JRE is available in www.javasoft.com, and ActivePerl in http://www.activeperl.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl .
3) Download CoGrOO Windows version installer.
4) Run installer.
5) Remaining steps are very intuitive (Next, Next, Next....). The final part of this installation process takes some time; don't worry!
6) Reboot your machine!
