Thanks Joachim for the information.

I just hope that if users need to install dictionaries that they will be 
accessible to them through the "Tools -> Language -> Install 
dictionaries". This does NOT lead users to the dictionaries page. It 
leads them to the: 
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List?lang=en site 
where there are NO dictionaries available except for a very few (2-3). 
The real download site for now is: 
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries?cid=926385
