Er, so why does the web page say that SF is the canonical place to get it
from, and the dictionaries-common package has a slightly outdated version?
If the best version is in the package, then even better, I'll just extract
it with a script and put it on the web pages.

This is not a problem, any developer can add new CVS accounts in the

also one of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can't promise anything :)

This is also not too much of a problem.
All in all, I'd be happy that you would just consider the move eventually.
Maybe even to a Debian Sourceforge if it ever gets set up (it's planned but
stalled due to some hardware problems). We'll patch something up in the
meantime.
