who is responsible now for maintaining the official en_US dictionary for OOo? There is an extension on the extension website but it's a bit older than the version distributed with OOo, so it cannot be considered an update (it also has a wrong version scheme). Ideally, the extension should become a bit more official (so that the maintainer could be assigned issues in IZ to update it) and the dictionary should be brought in sync with the current distributed version (I've just found an error in it - it contains a non-dictionary word 'underly' that is absent in all spelling dictionaries I have access to - or marked as a typo).

I am responsible for the contents of the dictionary but Németh László <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is responsible for actually creating the release. See "Additional Information" at http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/.

Until a new official dictionary (or extension) is released you can use en en_US dictionary I created for Mozilla which you can find attached to this bug report:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397150
or download it directly:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=290079

I am going to email Németh László to work out how to create new official dictionary.

As far as I understand the new process, it should be created as an extension. The problem is that there is already an en-US dictionary extension there, so you might want to contact its maintainer to make him/her responsible for updates (as Laci seems to be sufficiently busy doing lots of work on hunspell).

And how will I do that, he does not provide any way to contact him that I can see other than posting a public comment (and yes I logged in).

I have already emailed Németh László and will give him a few days before I take any additional action.
