[Dictionarysearch] DictionarySearch mod for Swahili

I am the editor of the Internet Living Swahili Dictionary 
(www.yale.edu/swahili).  I have trained the DictionarySearch extensions 
for Firefox and Thunderbird to perform Swahili dictionary lookups, and I 
have prepared a help page for Kamusi Project visitors to install the 
extension and customize it for Swahili:
http://research.yale.edu/swahili/serve_pages/swahili_dictionary_firefox_extension.php 


However, what I would really like to do would be to release a version of 
DictionarySearch that is pre-configured for Kamusi Project lookups.  How 
difficult would this be?  Is this something someone on this list could 
do, or would you know anyone else who would like to bang out a 
SwahiliDictionarySearch extension, or do you have any helpful hints that 
I could pass along if I am able to find a volunteer from my end?

I sent this query to Jaap a few weeks ago, but haven't heard back - so 
perhaps there is someone else on this list who would be able to help?

Many thanks,
Martin
