We will take the latest version of that extensions when we package
OpenOffice 4.x
Does this mean that OpenOffice 4.x will include the old and incomplete
version of my Swedish hunspell dictionary unless someone agrees to be the
maintainer of the official extension? That would be very unfortunate.
No, it just means that we will take the latest version from there. If
nobody is maintaining it but you are able to provide updated files to
include in it, then it's fine and I can continue to maintain it (as
packager only, always ready to reassign it to a native speaker).
For several reasons, I will not become the official maintainer any
OpenOffice extension. Perhaps you could find someone who understands
Swedish and is willing to test the new version of the dictionary? Then, if
the tests shows that the upgrade is worthwhile, maybe you, Andrea, could
update the extension?
Let's proceed this way:
1) Send me the updated dictionary files (if they are the same as in the
link you sent earlier, just confirm it and I will take them from there)
2) I'll put a new version of
http://extensions.openoffice.org/project/aoo-dict-sv online
3) I'd appreciate that a native speaker (like you!) has a look with the
latest 4.x snapshot, to check that the extension works (I can do it too,
but I can't judge on the dictionary quality)
4) I'll update the sources to include the latest version in OpenOffice 4.x.
The hunspell version used by
OpenOffice 3.4.0 and older has a few severe bugs (e.g. resulting in
malformed words as suggestions) and missing features which are truly
essential when spellchecking Swedish texts.
This is interesting to know. Nothing forbids from updating Hunspell in
OpenOffice 4.x if desirable. We just need to be in contact and I'll need
some specific test cases and feedback.
Regards,
Andrea.
