LyX supports now for example Farsi (fa) and Armenian (hy). But anyway ,as people downloaded the other dictionaries, they have a reason for this. We should not impose their will.

I agree we should compile all the dictionaries, under the condition that it is not too much extra work. However, I don't buy the argument about imposing their will, since this is the LyX project and not the Aspell project. Anyway, as I said. If it's not too much work (or possible to do by a script?), then I think we could just as well do them all.


Uwe, could I have your input on the following questions:

* What do you think about creating a separate sourceforge project for
  storing the dictionary installers?

* Which, if any, components does your installer download that are not
  available from sourceforge servers?

* Is it only the Aspell dictionary installers we would need to provide
  from ftp.lyx.org etc?

I might have asked others, but these are probably still relevant.

Cheers
/Christian
