I think the idea is awesome. One of the programs I localize currently maintains its own list of dictionary URLs in XML format, and these point to OOo mirrors, which I suppose are slowly going into oblivion... Since Hunspell (with a few exceptions, I know) is pretty much the de-facto spell checker in today's open-source applications (and not just them), I think it may be beneficial to have a central repository to host these dictionaries. Perhaps it would even make sense to adopt one of the package formats as proposed/official, and then begin getting in touch with application developers, suggesting that they adopt support for it. Possibilities here are endless, for example, the repository could (should) provide a generated listing of these dictionaries in some pre-agreed format, so that application developers could parse it automatically and allow users to download desired dictionaries and install them without ever opening their browser. TDF might indeed be a good candidate to host such repository.
