That is very helpful, indeed! I distributed the former versions, but I am
happy to give that responsibility to you :-D
The last time I did so I used some web pages for OOo/LIbreoffice
extensions and put up links there:
http://extensions.openoffice.org/project/Norwegian_dictionaries'
is one of them, there may be more ...
If you need to get permissions to use the same web page, please tell me
and I will help :-)

There are som administrators, but they (as me) are mostly busy with other
