Hi Andrea, I was talking about this with Marco the other day, it is indeed confusing understanding how this dictionary is being built. First of all it seems this dictionary havent been update in a long time. There seems to be originated from a project called WordLabel, however the site in itself seems to be focused on other projects beside the dictionary atm. Furthermore, it seems to be not public (I wasn't able to find an SCM, or Issue tracker).
The best example, is the project that Santiago bosio and other community members do for Spanish which is to not bundle the regionalizations but to develop an engine that automate the generation for each one, and then for each project (OpenOffice, LO, Mozilla, Aspell/Hunspell, etc). https://forja.rediris.es/projects/rla-es/ However I don't see an open project or a source tree for Marco to sign in to and perform the commits. I am sure that this will be needed eventually since the original developers of the Hunspell project (in what OpenOffice.org took off) seemed to have move on.
