Hi,

it seems that the current situation in this project is a little bit
unclear regarding dictionary maintenance.

On the discuss list Nicolas Mailhot stated:

> FYI, Red Hat/Fedora (and probably others) consider OO.o the upstream for

> http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/x86_64/hunspell-fr-0.20060915-1.fc7.noarch.html

I wasn't aware of that and don't know if this is more than a special
"idea" of the Red Hat folks, but anyway: at least there definitely are
patches for hunspell dictionaries in our issue tracker and so we have to
deal with them.

Laurent Godard (on the same list) stated:

> There is no structure to handle SpellChecker updates and i do it when time

So I wonder how good this works for all the possible patches we might
get or already got. Laurent, do you think that this feasible?

Who feels responsible for issues assigned to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?

Can we (means: all people interested in the linguistic project) do
something to improve the current situation?

Ciao,
Mathias
