I was not aware that so much work was in progress in African language
spell checkers (it might just be the rock I'm hiding udner).  I'm sure
this will interest people on the list.

Just for information, some OOo spell checkers already exist or one the 
way to exist in West African languages :
for moore, jula and fulfulde, you'll find them here
http://www.abcburkina.net/sedelan/contenu/services/linguistique.htm

I can't find the fon one, but I'm sure it exist. Wolof and several 
others for Mali and Ivory Cost languages are on their way.
If you are interested to get in touch with these communities, I'll send 
you their contacts.

Kind regards
Sophie
