Everithing I can say is sumarized as: it is a nice hard work among a
"herd of cats".

The easiest part is the technical part. Beware of the service user.

The success of such initiative will depend on the strategy and aproach
to get the support of the dicitionary maintainers, l10n and doc' leaders
and make them use and spread the word about the tool: mutate cats into
wolves. It involves communications and marketing of the service and will
require engagement of resources.

The strategy is also about a migration from existing processes to the
new one. We know a lot about migration issues: solid/old installed base,
user resistance to change, rebelions and even sabotage (derail the
project). So, IMHO,  start with TDF hunspell for LibreOffice in as many
L10n communities as possible. Once the commnunity is engaged,
invite/open other communities (Mozz, Latex, etc...). we did it for
Pootle, and it was not in a snapshot.

Hi all,

To help Christian doing this once instead of a per language basis, who
is willing to have 4.4 and 4.3 projects removed from Pootle? Please, add
your language in this thread:

Thanks in advance!
Cheers

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.
