The problem with many available dictionaries is that their license is not
compatible with OOo, e.g. GPL. That means you can use them with OOo, by
separately downloading them, but they cannot be made a part of it.

However, I think some kind of solution may be possible.

You may have noticed that, if you upgrade from (for example) 2.2.1 to
2.3.0, the software is installed in a new directory such as
".../OpenOffice.org 2.3" and the files in ".../OpenOffice.org 2.1" are
removed to reclaim the hard disk space. However, files in the latter
directory that were changed or added after installation are *not* removed.
I think this includes the dictionaries that were separately downloaded.

A feature could be added to the OOo installer that detects the existence
of  those dictionaries, and optionally migrates them to the new
installation directory. That way, you don't have to download the same
dictionaries every time you install a new version of OOo.
