Hello
Just my 2 cents- you shouldn't specify how much for which feature. I'll just gladly give something (I love zbedic !) but I thought it was a bit too much for whatever feature.

It could be more political to hide all financial details, but I would rather keep them open. This is more my small "business experiment" with the open source rather than any major source of income. From the experience so far, I won't earn my living this way
Whether it is too much is disputable - for a single user it is quite a lot but if ten users donate a few dolars, it does not seem so bad. Was it a fully commercial project, I would multiply those amounts by 10.
The good thing is that 100% of the money goes to engineering rather than marketing, management and other unproductive activities (I hope that there are no marketing people on this forum
Something I'd consider 1. adding to the UI : a "backspace" button to cut the word suffix if it isn't found in the dictionnary.
If I understand your idea right, this should be possible with "Better and fully navigable list of words" (see [a href=\"http://bedic.sourceforge.net/fddd.html#Better_and_fully_navigable_list_of_words]link[/url]). The problem is that zbedic currently shows only words that are alphabetically "greater" than the typed one. With a better list of words, it should be also possible to see alphabetically "lesser" words, including the words that have the same beginning as the typed word but lack the suffix.
2. adding a simpler format where definition would simply be in basic HTML free text (ie with <b> <i> <br> etc...)
It's already there - you can use HTML, which works perfectly fine (for example in Wikipedia). It's only not recommended, especially for ordinary dictionaries. This is because at some point there should be a converter from the bedic format to TEI XML and later to many other dictionary formats. If you don't structure your dictionary properly, such converter won't be able to make anything useful from your data.
