Hi Andrea, I found the project that created the Norwegian dictionaries that also the OpenOffice extension uses. The project's home page is http://no.speling.org, but they use http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30577 to publish releases. They are still active, and had a new release in september 2012. I joined the project and created an extension with the newest release, version 2.1. I set 2.1 as the version in the extension as well. I've uploaded it to http://seljord.ovitas.no/dictionary-no-NO-2.1.oxt. Axel Bojer, the creator of the previous extension checked the new one, and I also did some tests with Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1. I'll ask Axel to give me permission to update the extension page. Once that is done, I guess you can delete the other page.
