Hi Laurent, Lazlo and all others,

We like to rework the current path settings for the linguistic which
currently (or shortly will) include 4 pathes

- share/dict
  the path where implementation specific dictionaries for spell checker,
  hyphenator and thesaurus go, as well as OOo linguistic specific
  sub-directory "ooo"

- share/wordbook
  where user-dictionaries that get pre-installed and are not
  user-editable go,

- user/wordbook
  where user-dictionaries (the ones that can be modified via the UI) go,
  namely those that a user can create, and (due to lack of a better
  choice at that time) also the place where currently downloadable OOo
  dictionaries get installed to.

- and soon share/fingerprint
  the files needed for language guessing

One goal would be to use a multi-path for user/wordbook and
share/wordbook. Another would be to resolve the conflict of
user-dictionaries and downloadable dictionaries in user/wordbook,
especially since both of them happen to use the same file extension. :-/

The more general goal would be to make the path settings more flexible
and extensible. (For example as it is already the case for templates.)
And especially we would like to be able to deploy
additional/downloadable dictionaries in the future as packages.


So if anyone is interested to discuss this topic just drop a note here
in the ML. We will see later on if we should discuss this here or via IRC.


Regards,
Thomas
