Softlinks on the FTP server to the most recent versions will do. Like

Hmm.. that's not necessarily so easy to synchronize between different
servers. We don't want to create a lot of work for Jean-Marc. (Or whoever
it is that can write to ftp.lyx.org)
Below I've outlined one process that cold be used to update/synchronize
when even a single new dictionary (installer) is introduced.
To begin with, we have a 'master' directory somewhere that we can write
to, e.g. under http://www.lyx.org/.../aspell6. Then, when we create a new
version of a dictionary installer, we write it to that directory. And
update/change the soft link in that directory. Finally we create a .tar.gz
file with everything in that directory and ask Jean-Marc to replace the
content on ftp.lyx.org/.../aspell6 with that tar-file.
It'd work, but it's not so elegant. I know there are better synchronizing
softwares, but we don't know if Jean-Marc has enough access to use them.
The soft links might be a problem for instance. Maybe a straight copy is
simpler...
I'm sending this to Jean-Marc as well for his comments. Jean-Marc?

PS. Having the LyX installer be able to select among the dictionaries, or
simply list everything that's on the FTP server, would be more elegant but
I'm doubtful it's worth the trouble to write.
