Hi Martin

This is the call to all maintainers of dictionaries to provide their dictionaries as an extension and to distribute them via extensions.services.openoffice.org. With this mechanism the maintainer of the dictionaries will be able to distribute their dictionaries independently of the Ooo schedules,
thanks for the reminder
I planned to write a script (python) that built the new extensions from the existing zip files
no time until now, but hope next week end
any deadline ?

As far as I know about this from Martin it should be sufficient if the
dictionaries be available at the end of this month or early next month.
If that will be a problem you may want to contact Martin directly to get
his opinion about deadlines.

Pleas don't forget to create a description.xml for each dictionary to
hold some descriptive text AND the version of the extension. ^_-

Taking an example from another extension it may look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<description xmlns="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
xmlns:d="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
    <version value="1.0"/>
    <dependencies>
         <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="2.3"
d:name="OpenOffice.org 2.3"/>
    </dependencies>
</description>

At a minimum, each (new) extension should have an <identifier>. Also, please do not blindly copy any <dependencies> into new extensions---is there indeed a dependency on OOo 2.3 or greater for such dictionary extensions?
