DNW 15/12/2008 The dictionary word list has been significantly increased by merging in a large number of new words from the British word lists in SCOW- Spell Checking Oriented Word Lists, Revision 6 August 10, 2004 by Kevin Atkinson "The SCOWL is a collection of word lists split up in various sizes, and other categories, intended to be suitable for use in spell checkers. However, I am sure it will have numerous other uses as well." The latest version of SCOW can be found at http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ I have also modified the dictionaries.xcu file to give unique files names to the en_GB hypenation dictionary and the US thesaurus in this extension to prevent unwanted interaction with other English dictionaries. Thanks to Robert Black for his assistance with this. DNW 20/11/2008 Removed un-Australian -ize variants of words from ths list. DNW 27/9/08 A short list of Australian slang terms was added. Added same new words like 'cellphone' from various online new word lists. DNW 25/9/2008 Version packaged as English Australian Dictionary Extension version 1 for OpenOffice version 3. -- Notes for 2.1.1 -- - Made some modifications as this dictionary is specifically aimed at Mozilla products and online users.

A typo in the extension name? New version pronto! -- Notes for 0.1 -- 2006-08-03 I, Cameron, downloaded the en-AU dictionary file from http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html in order to package it correctly for use in Mozilla applications and distribution through addons.mozilla.org. It was last modified on 2003-03-29. I received no reply after emailing the author, and such have decided to make my own fork (is it still a fork if the previous one isn't maintained?) for Mozilla :) I have also decided to change the license to the GNU General Public License - as per section 3 of the LGPL. The en_AU dictionary is credited to Kelvin Eldridge (previous maintainer) , Jean Hollis Weber and David Wilson (originally licensed under the LGPL.) Their changes: - Words incorrect in Australian English removed - a list from the previously removed words with corrected spelling was added - a list of major rivers was added - a list of place names was added - a list of Australian mammals was added - a list of Aboriginal/Koori words commonly used was added This dictionary was based on the en_GB dictionary, edited by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and Andrew Brown - (originally licensed under the LGPL.) Which was in turn initially based on a subset of the original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell and Aspell - (originally licensed under the LGPL.) Original affix file created completely from scratch by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published rules for MySpell - (originally licensed under the LGPL.)
