Hi,

could you guys have another look at the dictionary packages for your
locales?

There are a bunch of dictionaries on
http://dictionaries.mozdev.org/installation.html, which are not on
https://addons.mozilla.org/en/dictionaries.

Could you take a look and for those dictionaries that work, package them
up with Benjamins tool[1] ?

I'd rather not just do that without a native speaker commenting on those
dictionaries in question, as I don't know their license, nor their
quality. (I wonder if there's a license that would not allow
repackaging, but who knows.)

Thanks

Axel

Some of ours are missing. Are there any 'not-a-web-junky-monkey'
instructions to package the dics. I have automated make files for
processing our dictionaries into Aspell, Myspell and XPI format and want
to check that we're doing the right thing with the XPI.
