TuxWordSmith would be awesome. I have downloaded the source code and would
review it out. I hope it is easily extendable to the project goals i have in
my mind.
I hope you would allow me to use your code as a base for the project.

btw: It's intresting to note , we both came up with the same name:

I totally understand that issue and have written about it in the gsoc

used by TuxWordSmith in order to differentiate the game from the original.
