openoffice.org-i18n is huge, so it got me wondering, could this package be separated into individual languages to try and minimize the size of the download.
I would guess that for most people they only need a single language, or a couple of languages at most, so having to download 115MB of package just to get a couple of languages seems excessive, especially if an update is issued.
Would this be possible? And should I file a bug proposing this (I appreciate that this may not be actioned before FC3, but I still think it's worth it in the future.)

Agreed. Would make updating ex. a new dictionary easyer and more affordable.
But FINALLY there is norwegian support in OpenOffice (the menus etc are all norwegian :P Now i just hope there are support for certain important werbs in the dic - such as "walk", "get" etc. But exact from those 10+ words, the dictionary is really nice!)

No need to file a bug, this is planned for post-FC3.
