Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Australian dictionary - Fixes - 2016-03-14

Hello Michael,

I am improving GB and packing the OXT English files.

To edit the AU dictionary you can use my open-source tool (Proofing Tool
GUI):
http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html

The user guide is outdated (no free time to finish it yet) but you can
read the dictionary part of it.

My advice for you to find missing words in AU is to check my GB wordlist.

The rules for the .AFF can be found in my Dropbox:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30674540/enGB_original_author_explanation.aff

I believe was able to get the explanation above before its official site
vanished.

I make monthly releases of all dictionary files in OXT format.

It would be great if you could make a quick (minor) improvement to AU so
that I can ship it in the monthly update, for example, you could add
basic software names.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
        >Marco A.G.Pinto
