Hi,

I was away on vaction and just saw this. AFAIK Mozilla is using its version of MySpell which is dictionary compatible with the OOo ones so you might want to name them something or organize them somehow so that they are useful for Mozilla users too.
Do you have more info?
I found http://spellchecker.mozdev.org, but it doesn't say much.

I checked no Debian package is available for now either.

Maybe we should put dictionnaries completely outside of OpenOffice?
In a shared location, with links if needed.

Thanks

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Anyways, how do you think should this work?
OK, for the benefit of those on the list we just thrashed this out on
IRC. We'd like to do the following:

* openoffice.org Suggests: openoffice.org-spellcheck

* Each language pack Suggests: openoffice.org-spellcheck-<lang>
  where <lang> is de, fr, en etc..

* Where this is only one dictionary for a language (-fr?), that will be
  called openoffice.org-spellcheck-<lang> and provide -spellcheck

* Where there are several dictionaries, they will be called e.g. -de-de
and -de-ch, and each will provide -spellcheck-de and -spellcheck

* The special case of -de-de also providing the Austrian dictionary
will be openoffice.org-spellcheck-de-de Provides: -spellcheck-de-at.

Phew!  Why so complicated?  We want to support the following scenarios:

- A user installs openoffice.org and is looking for dictionaries, so
all dicts Provides: -spellcheck.

- A user installs a language pack, so we Suggests: dictionaries for
that language and the dictionaries use Provides: -spellcheck-<lang>

- A user knows exactly which language to install and tries to install
using the dictionary name:

  e.g. apt-get openoffice.org-spellcheck-de-at.

Jerome, how does that sound to you for French?
