spell checking in v3 Beta. So ...
Please let me know where can I find documentation on:
- how to install spell checking dictionaries/thesauri for different
languages (particularly on Windows if that makes a difference but
also on other OS's)?
They are provided as an extension (.oxt file) so to install them go
under the extension manager.
- where I can find spell checking dictionaries/thesauri for different
languages? Will it be necessary for authors of such
dictionaries/thesauri to submit them to a central "repository" of
some sort? Where is that repository?
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/taxonomy/term/88
- how to convert an existing (2.x) dictionary/thesaurus to the new
format? Is there a program that automates this process? For Windows
(or, if not for Windows then for what)?
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Non-code_extensions#Extensions_for_dictionaries
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries
Also, what progress is being made converting the many 2.x format
dictionaries/thesauri to the new format? Is there a project for this?
How do I get in touch with the people participating in that project?
I don't know, may be someone else on this list will have the answer :)
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Sophie

Sophie,
Thank you. Please do let me know if you get any more information. I'm
particularly concerned that v3 Beta is already with us and there seem to
be very few dictionaries on the web site you sent me. In particular
there are no dictionaries for most European languages, most Middle East
languages (Arabic, hHebrew, ...), most variations of English (British,
Australian etc, who all want our/their dictionaries) and so on. The web
site you sent me lists 13 languages but the v2 web site
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries) has 85.
