This makes me wonder...   Does it still make sense, in the year 2013, for
updates to dictionaries and thesauruses to require a download and install
of a large file.  Is there a way to do this incrementally, even live, based
on a feed (RSS or Atom)?   So I could have AOO "subscribe" to a dictionary
and receive new words as they become popular.  Maybe there can even be the
ability to have a custom subscription that is used only within a company,
to publish special words used there, technical, product names, etc.  You
could even have a menu option as part of spell checking "Add to shared
dictionary...".

    Hello my dear ones,<br>
    <br>
    A couple of days ago I was on IRC in #<a href=3D"http://dev.openoffice.=
org" target=3D"_blank">dev.openoffice.org</a> chatting
    with JZA.<br>
    <br>
    I came up with the idea of creating a GUI to edit the thesaurus of
    AOO.<br>
    <br>
    JZA told me the files were in TXT format and gave me a URL with
    several information but I gave a quick look and didn&#39;t find anythin=
g
    about the data dictionary of the thesaurus.<br>
    <br>
    The tool will be called &quot;Proofing Tool GUI&quot; and will be coded=
 in
    PureBasic. Is this a good name? PureBasic allows to compile in
    Windows/Linux/Mac/Amiga.<br>
    <br>
    The reason why I want to code it is because months ago I contacted
    my friends at Minho University in Portugal who are in charge of
    PT-pt and I wanted to send them words to be used as synonymous but
    they didn&#39;t know how to add them.<br>

    I unziped the Portuguese .OXT and grabbed the files:<br>

    <br>
    I opened them with Microsoft Expression Web 4 to keep the UTF-8
