Hi Dennis,
I really love your package - it makes a lot of sense to have dictionary editing in the Content tree, since giving site editors access to the "Settings" area is sketchy...
Also, the import/export is handy.
There are a couple things which would be great, though:
The drop-down that lists all the Dictionary keys for editing should
be alphabetized.
It would be great if the export file could be sorted by parent key,
then key, so that all the items of a specific section would be
together in the file.
I know it's been a couple years since you worked on this, so perhaps if you have the source code up on GitHub or something, I could make these changes myself?
Thank you for your feedback. you are right, I haven't worked on this package for a long time. I'd be happy to share the source code with you however. You should be able to find it here:
Would you have any objections to open-sourcing this? There might be others who would like to keep it going into future versions of umbraco. If you wouldn't mind, I would be happy to manage it on GitHub. If not, that's alright, and I appreciate you sharing it with me.
I have a new version of the package compiled with those little updates I wanted, along with the dashboard config fixed so that it installs into Umbraco v.7. If you can make me a collaborator on the package page, I can upload it.
I opened the package for collaboration, but I don't think I can add you. However, I think you can send a request here, and then maybe I can add you? I'm not quite sure how that works.
Hmm, I got your request, but I can't find anywhere to add you to the project.. Is that even possible?
I got the following email:
"The Umbraco Community member ‘Heather Floyd’ would like to contribute to your project ‘Dictionary Dashboard’. You can add the member to the project from your profile on our.umbraco.org."
There is nothing in my profile page or in the project details that allows me to accept your request =/

Feel free to wrap it up nicely and publish code if you like :)
Will do!
Thanks again, Dennis!

Ps. Will I see you at CodeGarden this year?
@Dennis - thanks also for the source-code! It's a great package!
@Heather - I've been thinking about this for v7 also. Let me know if you get around to putting it up on GitHub, I'll happily contribute to it. :-)
Thanks,

Alright Dennis & Lee - It's up now :-)

Hi All,
Dennis: Many thanks for this one. I like it as well.
Heather: Ive added a new feature where you can search dictionary item by its value. Is it possible to create a pull request?
Regards,
moshe
Moshe, Are you unable to create a pull request?
https://github.com/hfloyd/DictionaryDashboardForUmbraco/pulls
I don't see anything which might prevent you...
~Heather
Was able now via Github for windows.
Thanks
I made an Dictionary Import/Export for Excel, based on http://epplus.codeplex.com
Unfortunately, i don't have the time right now to polish and integrate it into the dashboard, but if anyone is up to it you can get the source here:

Thanks, Moshe, for the update.
It's now included in the newest release, v.1.1 :
