But I can see about 25 dicts in the And what are they built from? The myspell version was built from a external wordlist and so myspell-fr is built and packages from there directly. > source while only 10 "binaries" are produced.

Öet's look at the openoffice.org-dictionaries dirs: af-ZA -> packaged cs-CZ -> packaged de_* -> packaged from igerman98 en_* -> packaged es_ES -> packaged from espa-nol; README says it's a MySpell dictionary et_EE -> packaged from ispell-et; README says "OpenOffice.org spellchecker" and it's from 2004, so probably a MySpell dictionary fr_* -> ok, that's already the hunspell version... hu_HU -> packaged from magyarispell; README inside OOo says that it's the same soure it_IT -> packaged lt_LT -> packaged from ispell-lt ne_NP -> packaged nl_NL -> packaged from dutch; README in OOos code says "Format: MySpell" pl_PL -> packaged from ipolish sk_SK -> packaged from myspell-sk sl_SI -> packaged from myspell-sl sv_SE -> packaged from myspell-sv sw_TZ -> packaged th_TH -> packaged zu_ZA -> hmm, indeed missing. For the varios external myspell-* source packages those maintainers shoud upload a hunspell version in addition if there is one, not my job (I far, though, that some of them might have uploaded hunspell dicts as myspell-*, though...) So what's about your claim that 15is not used? They are just packaged externally, where they belong.

On the OO.o wiki, many more dicts are listed than in the source That are the dictionaries which are in OOos source. > package, and their package is much buigger (58 MB). Are they only bad > versions? wiki =! OpenOffice.org source. That's not the dictionaries which are in OOos source. They come from wherever. And many of them are legally questionable/violate licenses or are for whatever else reason not in OOos source.
