Hi, |

I just recently resubscribed to the developer list after being dumped |
| 4 |
from a server upgrade or something. I forgot how much mail I would get! |

Anyway, I was trying out all of the xscreensaver modules (you do it too!), |
| 7 |
and tried getting the webcollage module to work. One of the things it |
| 8 |
needs is a dictionary to lookup words for random web searching, but I was |
| 9 |
unable to locate a package in gentoo that provides the necessary word |
| 10 |
list. I looked in my FreeBSD machine and grabbed the files from |
| 11 |
/usr/share/dict/, but they appear to be part of the FreeBSD userland, and |
| 12 |
not separately maintained (though, how often does a dictionary really need |
| 13 |
to be updated?) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If anyone is interested in making an ebuild and adding a word dictionary |
| 16 |
to gentoo (they're good for cracking or checking the strength of passwords |
| 17 |
too), the files can be had here: |

This should be an inoccuous package to add, since it is just text files. |
