To circumvent the needless rants and flames, why not double-up on Duali and get it into a usable state targeting OOo. Once that is complete we should look into getting it integrated into aspell. If license is an issue with duali I see no problem us switching it over to (L)GPL as had been noted a rather long time ago. In the not too distant past I had suggested we gang-up on one project to get our collective juices flowing, I'm extending that idea to not only include arabbix (Mr. Rahal are you ready for that just yet ??) but to also consider Duali (our spell- checker) [1]. I'm not sure what state Duali is in, but that shouldn't be too difficult to ascertain plus we do have some access to its original author what we'll need is some linguistic assistance to make sure we've covered all the bases and that the approach is proper, etc and some help from the OOo's team for integration (but something tells me that shouldn't be an issue at all). Thoughts ?
