New version of MeDic
So my almost-but-not-quite-forgotten medical dictionary is now up to 0.0.2. I added some 20,000+ words to it yesterday, sorted it, removed duplicates, and re-packaged it.
I removed the versions for Word < 2003/2004 simply because I don't feel like taking the time to split the file into 15 different parts. Office 12 is almost out; it's time to move up to a newer version of Word already.
Anyway. I'm not sure where I'm going to come up with more words, but I also thought that last time and now here I am. I'm going to submit it to the library at school to see if they want to email-blast the students with it. I know I'm not the only one who'll find it useful if they do.
Download and enjoy!

I see that you have made MeDic (C) Rian Stockbower, but perhaps you should consider releasing it under an open-source license.

That's a holdover from the last time. It seemed like a good thing to do…
I was thinking of making it creative commons. (CC) :p

Also, it might be cool to add a word-submission mechanism to your site here, so it would be really easy for users of MeDic to contribute (inclusion of these submissions into publicly available releases would be moderated, of course).

Agreed. I'm sure I could modify the wp-contact form plugin for such a purpose. (I already use it for my "Contact me" page.) There's probably a better way, though…
