I hope they are going to sign some agreements with some good publishers of dictionaries, so probably you are right: they are going to use these first dictionaries they published on their blog in order to "test" the response of their customers.
BTW, they have to improve their grammar algorithms a lot. Right now, they are working decently for French and partially for English, but - for example - the Italian parser lacks many features (like properly associating plural words to the root, singular word included in the dictionary)
