Make it easy enough, and every group that is working on reducing a
language to writing, will be uploading their word lists here.
(If that occurs, then LibO will definitely need to redesign the language
selection component.)

This is where automated tools are great.
(I'll ignore  issues such as
the one with Afrikaans, which didn't contain the word "die" for several
years.  This is the definite article in Afrikaans, so it was a pretty
annoying omission.)

The reason I mentioned GIT, is because there was (operative word _was_)
a group of people working on an extension for AOo/LibO to save documents
to GIT. The projected end result would be that all the individual would
have to know about GIT, was to click on this extension to either save,
or retrieve the document from GIT.

My impression is that there is a python library that takes word lists,
and creates affix files from them.

Listing the technical requirements for the must-haves and nice-to-haves.
