There used to be a dictionary wizard that allow users to select and use their locale. This was written by Lauren Godard and since the extentions came through, the development was IMO droped after a drupal site.
I did suggest to use Drupal REST/XMLRPC to make the calls to retrieve the extentions of the contnent on a similar fashion to KDE's "Get Hot new Stuff" http://dot.kde.org/2005/03/13/kde-technologies-get-hot-new-stuff There was a GSOC project by Tijana Milanovich that introduce a patch to make go-OO/libreoffice use OpenClipart to intrgrate, patch is here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/commit/?id=f3a517b005a31607b373393600ac41237a55b1f4 The code includes a class that consume clipart webservice to read the feed and retrieve the Openclipart metadata and image to install. as you can see here: ++public: ++ OnlineGalleryThemeEntry() {} ++ ~OnlineGalleryThemeEntry(); ++ OnlineGalleryThemeEntry(const rtl::OUString& keyword, ++ bool bIsUserSearch = TRUE, ++ INetURLObject aBaseURL = INetURLObject("http://www.openclipart.org/media/feed/rss/";) ); ++ SgaObject* GetSgaObject( GalleryObject* pEntry); The code of course is clipart centric, but OpenClipart as well as our extensions uses Drupal on it's back end, so the feed would be the same process, only the installation would be a more dedicated process than import and registering new cliparts on the gallery.
