In the meantime you can have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Extension_Dictionaries and try for yourself by downloading e.g. one of the French dictionaries. After that you just need to rename it from oxt to zip and unzip the archive to see it's content. Then you can try by removing the French dictionary files and adding your own files. After that you basically just need to edit the description.xml and the dictionary.xcu. But if you are patient and want to wait for me, then please decide on the following (you can read about all of them in the sample description.xml listed in the above link): - the locales to use this dictionary with - the license text (if any) - a version number for the extension - the display-name - and an identifier for the extension. If you provide me with the answers to these items and attach the license text and the dictionary files I will create the extension for you.
