Right now we don't have modern dictionaries packaged. People use AUR packages or poor OpenOffice extensions that cannot be used for other apps. The proper way is to have hunspell-xx packages providing a dictionary, thesaurus and hyphenation data files.
I'm going to add a base set of hunspell-{en,de,foo} packages to testing. A common PKGBUILD doesn't make much sense because the upstream sources are maintained in different countries and releases come at different time.
This way we can make use of the packages in OOo/LibO, enchant and Mozilla's FF/TB/SM packages. The files will go into /usr/share/hunspell/xx_XX with symlinks to /usr/share/myspell/dicts/xx-XX for historical reason.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell for more.
To compare look at http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openoffice.org-dictionaries http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=hunspell-XX.git http://gentoo-portage.com/app-dicts/ the myspell-xx packages.
Any comments or objection?
