I see. How about if I take one of the current 'openoffice.org-dictionaries' packages, mutilate it into a '-fi' one and upload it by myself? It's just one .dic file, though, nothing more. My main concern is that the package may go out of sync with 'openoffice.org-dictionaries' but perhaps it is a sensible temporary solution if we also attempt to get hyph_fi_FI accepted into the upstream source tree? Chris, do you know what it takes to get a contributed dictionary accepted? I suppose simply filing a wishlist bug won't do because of SUN's strict copyright policy, even though the dictionary places no restrictions to usage or distribution. Try and get all the original authors to sign a copyright assignment form? (Could prove to be very hard if not impossible as the dictionary is originally from the 80's.) - Jarno
