scurrility - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

Many web applications allow users to submit content that is displayed to other users or the general public. For example, laconica displays 140 character microblog entries submitted by users, libre.fm displays song titles submitted by users, and wordpress displays comments submitted by blog readers. Some of the content may not be appropriate for minors, or it may be offensive to some adults. A web service for cleaning out the vulgarities before a message is posted would be something that a site administrator might want to have.

scurrility will fill that void and provide a vulgarity filtering SOAP web service. The server is written in PHP and uses MySQL for storing it's bad word list. The NuSOAP library provides the SOAP interface.

Aside from the SOAP server, the project will develop example client software in many programming languages. Plugins and/or patches for various Free Software web applications (laconica, libre.fm, etc) will be developed.
