Btw, it's not all clear to me that this directory only contains

Why create a whole directory structure if we only need to host

In case we need to store something else in the future? If we are
reasonably sure it'll only ever be the dictionaries, I agree with you.
If you change the name there should already be a redirect so older
installers keep working.
True. Or just leave the old copy where it is... (it only seems to be about
30-60MB). And add a 'README' saying where more up-to-date stuff can be
found.
I looked in the directory again, and I think I understand it better now.
For an installer of a dictionary, e.g.
.../aspell6-windows/aspell6-af-0.50-0.exe
* The '6' in 'aspell6' stands for dictonary format '6'.
* The '-af-' stands for the language
* The '0.50-0' stands for the version of the dictionary.
Correct?
How will we deal with old versions of dictionary (installers)?
When a new dictionary comes along, we'll eventually catch up and produce a
corresponding dictonary installer. Then we'll eventually make an updated
LyX installer, that'll refer to the new dictionary installer. However, the
old LyX installers will still refer to the old dictionary installer, so in
order to not break those we need keep the old dictionary installers
around.
Correct?
We could, some time in the future, make the LyX installer be smarter
about which version of the LyX installer it should install. Or is it
already so smart that it downloads a list of the available dictionaries to
install?
