* create a dictionaries package, which installs the various dictionaries at any location which is appropriate for the system. * create a system shared hunspell package which is able to find the installed dictionaries Most important is to find a maintainer for those packages and update them on regular basis and deals with the various licenses of the dictionaries. Important for OpenOffice.org is to find also a working mechanism on Windows so that OOo can make also use of this in a generic way so that there is a chance not necessarily implementing two mechanisms (bundling dicts, using system dicts).
