Hmm, wget -S says: Last-Modified: Thu, 07 Dec 2006 09:36:37 GMT, perhaps
updated once a year or something ?

This one seems to be updated very frequently alright.

Ah, excellent. Couldn't read the text to figure out that page :-)

This one was updated on 05-Jul-2007 (after a long time of being not
updated) to http://sv.speling.org/filer/myspell-sv-1.3.8-6b.tar.gz which
triggered me looking at it again.

Anyhow.. I like the sound of the dsso one, it seems like the
contemporary content developing project. Unless there are any objections
I think I'll point the hunspell-sv at that dictionary.

Perhaps someone Swedish should drop a line to both parties and merge the
efforts, if even to just pointing the myspell-sv/hunspell-sv seeking
user from speling towards dsso.
