Hi,

OpenOffice.org now comes with various dictionaries preinstalled with the full installation set for the various localization.

To take full advantage of the online update notification mechanism, it is important, that

* as many dictionaries as possible should be already bundled with the OpenOffice.org installation sets. This is in most cases not a problem with a LGPL compatible license (such as MPL, MIT, BSD, (L)GPL ) and should find they home in the OOo source tree (see http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/dictionaries/ for the already existing dictionaries)

* having done this the second important issue vanishes automatically, the different versions of the same dictionaries should have the same identifier value so that the user will be able to get automated updates from the preinstalled dictionary towards the updated version in the repository.

e.g. we now have the Russian dictionary in the extension repository wit this value:

identifier value="org.openoffice.ro.dictionaries.ru"

and the one bundled in OOo:

identifier value="org.openoffice.ru.hunspell.dictionaries"

having the most recent version in the repository also help that the latest version will get included in new releases of OpenOffice.org automagically,

Just a note for dictionary pack authors: the version number should be the current day in the format: YYYY.MM.DD, otherwise your dictionary won't be recognized as a newer version.

Regards
Marcin
