Why would we not make a demand to some official sites to provide a database= for emacs ? Let me finish the cloning the next week , and a few members of emacs could = write a demand to some sites. I clone an official site of France that I use all the time. If I clone it a= nd use it, why you may be not able to use it. as time as I use it, and an I= nternet User use it ? After I finish cloning it, I tell you the site, when = I finish. Until then, no word from me, because for me the data base that I = clone is crucial. In the 21th century the editors/providers of written dictionnaries are gain= ing their lives from other resources, not from selled dictionnaries.Maybe t= hey can understand that providing their data bases is a huge grow of cultur= al level , and maybe they provide the data bases to emacs.
