Yes, I was wondering for a french dictionary for myspell, and I have seen an RFP about that (#177322). > Don't upload that please.

I agree it will be more clean than packaging myspell-fr from the zip. Nicolas, if you agree to create myspell dictionary from ifrench or ifrench-gut, could you please make your package available (on people.d.o for example) at the same time as you upload it? It sometimes takes a lot of time for a package to be accepted by the ftp-masters, and a lot of people are waiting for a French dictionary in openoffice.org. Cheers, Aurelien -- .''`.
