Description
Thessalonica (СОЛУНЬ in Russian), developed by Alexej Kryukov, was a set of keyboard input methods and converters which enabled writing, among others, polytonic (classical) Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew, using Unicode encoding. It provided a Greek keyboard (among others). The most advanced version of Thessalonica was a module for the office suite OpenOffice.org (similar and compatible to MS Office). It was distributed under the conditions of the GNU General Public License.
The combination of OpenOffice.org and Thessalonica could be used on several platforms, including Windows and Linux.
The most recent version of Thessalonica for OpenOffice.org was 2.9/3.0 beta (2008/11/18), requiring at least OpenOffice.org 2.1 with Java JRE 1.5 or higher. The distribution included converter description files for WinGreek and WinLanguage Polytonic Greek encodings (making Thessalonica function similarly to e.g. the Greek Transcoder or Greek Font to Unicode Converter); further special conversions were programmable.
Syriac Input Method for Thessalonica
There was an independently developed and freely downloadable Syriac Input Method (*now also defunct as of 2019-06-11*) which used Thessalonica under OpenOffice to allow users to type Syriac characters, points and marks directly into their documents alongside text in other languages and orthographies.
