":help spell-mkspell" says:

You can create a Vim spell file from the .aff and .dic files that Myspell
uses.  Myspell is used by OpenOffice.org and Mozilla.  You should be able to
find them here:
        http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The link in help file contains dictionaries for the old OpenOffice-2.x.

OpenOffice-3.x has changed the format of the dictionaries
OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries are available at:

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary

Does anybody knows whether it's possible to convert the
OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries to Vim dictionaries?

OpenOffice-3.x has more dictionaries than OpenOffice-2.x.
For example, I'm interested in converting the Breton dictionary
to Vim, but it's only available for OpenOffice-3.x and not OpenOffice-2.x.
