English Dictionaries GitHub repository

Dear ones,

I have been able to make it work: 
https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict

I tried a GUI for GitHub but I didn't understand anything.

Then, I used Tortoise to create a checkout and I was able to make it 
work after several attempts.

How do I make people report bugs/suggestions?

Also, I am only improving the en_GB... en_US and en_CA are improved by 
Kevin Atkinson with whom I am in contact... but people can report in my 
GitHub and I will inform Kevin in his repository.

Please notice the "en_GB_speller_for_Mozilla+AOO+LO_2013+.txt" where I 
keep all the changes.


PS->JZA, I am terribly sorry for being a lazy ass... I know you have 
told me to do this months ago and it was extremely easy, just like you 
said :-X

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,
       >Marco A.G.Pinto

Yes, of course.

Every month I release an update for Mozilla.

For OpenOffice it will take longer because there are 10 000s of people 
downloading.

The idea was that also other projects could go to the GitHub and take 
the .AFF and .DIC and use them in projects which use spell checking.

I always keep a note of the most recent version for Mozilla and AOO on 
the official site of Proofing Tool GUI:
http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html

As you can see there, the Mozilla version is 2.12 and the AOO is 2.09. 
This happens because I was told to wait a few weeks after the release of 
AOO 4.1 before making an update. I will release V2.13 for both Mozilla 
and AOO in the first week of June. I will also add there the most recent 
versions of en_US and en_CA by Kevin Atkinson, releasing first a beta 
extension for people to try and one week later release an official one :-P

I hope this explains it.

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards from your friend,

I would think using this "dev" list would be fine for feedback. The github
location is for testing as I understand it, and these dictionaries will
eventually be moved into the normal extension repository, correct?

 balanced by sadness.  It is far better (to) take things as they come
 along  with patience and  equanimity."
