What needs to be done for auto-correct?

Going to :need-info Kevin Scannell so he might be able to explain. Thanks!

Hi Damjan,
  What I usually do is base the auto-correct on an existing spell checker, and assign frequency information by crawling lots of text in the language from the web.   How is the word list here as a starting point?

https://addons.mozilla.org/ga-IE/firefox/addon/macedonian-makedonski-mk-mk/

I can also generate a list of the most common words not accepted by the spell checker.  Sometimes these are misspellings but other times they're just gaps in the spell checker.  For other languages, we've gone through the top 1000-2000 or so words on this list and added the correct ones to the auto-correct dictionary (and also usually send them upstream to the spell checker maintainer).  Would you want to do that for Macedonian?  Probably easiest to coordinate by email if so.
