The English (Australia) data on that page is linked to a bad site.

That means that there will be far more emails to the support lists
saying that spell checking in OOo does not work.

That also means that replies will have to include instructions on how
to install dictionaries that have not been converted to an extension.

IOW,  that decision just managed to give OOo two black eyes, and
reinforce the impression that OOo is for techies, and not the masses
--- unless the person responsible for that decision is going to
convert the 200+ dictionaries that depends upon dictionary.lst to
installable extensions.

Wondering if OxygenOffice is going to include the dictionaries.
