Hi! I got a question from one large OO user regrding possibility to incorporate lv_LV dictionary in official distro.
While i like such idea, i do not like the possible result to what i may come - inclusion of all existing dictionaries which meets licencing requirements. In the same time - with all my respect to the authors etc.etc. - an average user may even do not know where on the Earth, for example, Swahili is used or for what purpose he gets Thai or Chech dictionaries, along with bunch of other languages he definitely will never use. What solutions i see: 1. do not include any dic at all, but to modify installator in the way it asks for the necessary set of dictionaries during installation; 2. include some "imperial" languages like English, French, German, Spanish, but in the same time giving to user the possibility to modify this set (add/remove) during installation; There, of course is some drawback - necessity to have internet connection which could be solved by division of distro in two parts - (like KDE, for example) - OO base package (platform dependent, including _limited_ set of dic or even just two flavours of English) and dictionaries pack (platform independent) to make this independent from internet connection. It is easier if you have fully localized OO, but there are not much of them. The current approch is more or less OK for individual, but it becomes slightly annoying if you have to do some 10-20 installations/updates a day Janis *** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
