I don't have that much knowledge on the theory of Finnish language or spell
checking either, I just pretty much have an itch to scratch here since I'd
like to use Voikko with Fedora.
I believe the main reason for not using hunspell is suomi-malaga, which I've
packaged in Fedora as malaga-suomi-voikko. It is less work for the relatively
small number of developers and in some cases it works better than hunspell
would. More information is at
<http://voikko.sourceforge.net/architecture.html>.

Thanks for adding the SDK and also for the documentation on the wiki. I'll
probably ask for help on this list if I encounter some issues I can't solve
myself.
