Diary
December 2, 2006: I sign up for various OpenOffice mailing lists, and this wiki. What takes me here is the poor spell checking support for Swedish in OpenOffice 2.0.2. The spelling dictionary is version 1.3.8 from sv.speling.org, which hasn't been updated since March 2002. It only contains 24490 words (basic forms), some of which are misspelled. The myspell affix file seems to have been automatically converted from the ispell affix file.
