I am certainly thankful for all of the support the project has received from SourceForge. It is awesome. I do have concerns.

SourceForge accounts are used to manage the aoo-templates and aoo-extensions projects, which contain all the file releases and ssh/sftp access to web hosting (apache/php/mysql). The Drupal sites are separate, so have their own security. I am not familiar with how it was developed, but I would imagine it is standard Drupal security. > Other questions and comments?

Templates and Extensions
Hi - SourceForge has been very helpful to the OpenOffice community. But with the issues seen in the other thread it may be time to explore what it would take to find an alternative way to host the OpenOffice extensions and templates sites. We need to have quick support and there is risk to the community not to have it. In order to begin an exploration of this it would be important to know the size of the “problem”. A few questions about the scope. (1) How many downloads in a month and what is the pattern? (2) How many extensions are there? (3) How many templates? (4) What scheme is used for login/security? Other questions and comments? At this time we are unlikely to get any support from ASF infrastructure. If any of these is confidential (like security) then please respond to that part only at priv...@openoffice.apache.org <mailto:priv...@openoffice.apache.org> Regards, Dave

I wrote a couple of short blog <https://sourceforge.net/blog/new-apache-openoffice-sites/>posts < http://robertogaloppini.net/2016/01/12/about-contributing-to-apache-openoffice/ about the changes that affect end- users. Extensions that have not been updated in a while report the following message: "Warning message This extension was not updated recently. It might not work with latest versions of OpenOffice." See for example how looks like the old Oracle PDF Importer < http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/oracle-pdf-import-extension-openoffice-3x . Registered users see an additional notice on unmaintained extensions that allows them to contact the original author and apply for a co-maintainer role. Co-maintainers can edit the extension description and create releases. Registration emails and password related communications are now delivered in the language chosen by the user. It worth to add that we are more than happy to provide .po files to whoever is willing to help with translations. If need will arise we'll consider the possibility to upload localization files to the Apache Pootle server so that existing translation teams can help and the site can be translated into more than the current three languages (English, French, German). Recovering passwords has been simplified to cover cases where users had difficulties in resetting their passwords: users receive an email in their language with a simple link to reset their password with no further steps. Sites have been converted to use a more efficient anti-spam system that will improve handling by extensions maintainers: the system will not trigger anti-spam warnings and page unpublishing when the author modifies a popular extension. *Changes users facing*. *The new extensions home<http://extensions.openoffice.org/>*has a strong focus on the search box, a brand new logo, and an overall redesigned look and feel, where all menu items have icons for better readability. *The new templates home*<http://templates.openoffice.org/>is similar to the Apache OpenOffice Extensions site, with a similar redesigned look and feel and different colors to highlight which application a given template can be applied to. *The new administrative interface* includes a navigation bar at the top for Extensions’ authors that links to the most common actions. We also improved the GUI, making it more intuitive for uploading extensions. *Search* has been completely redesigned too. It’s worth mentioning that there are other changes sprinkled here and there, including an alert for outdated extensions that provides an easy way to contact the original author. 2016-01-13 23:28 GMT+01:00 Marcus<marcus.m...@wtnet.de>: Am 01/12/2016 09:17 PM, schrieb Roberto Galoppini: Over the last few months we have been busy redesigning the Apache OpenOffice Templates and Extensions experience, basically incorporating feedback and simplifying the existing procedures.

Extensions that have not been updated in a while report the following message: "Warning message This extension was not updated recently. It might not work with latest versions of OpenOffice." See for example how looks like the old Oracle PDF Importer < http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/oracle-pdf-import- extension-openoffice-3x . Registered users see an additional notice on unmaintained extensions that allows them to contact the original author and apply for a co- maintainer role. Co-maintainers can edit the extension description and create releases. Registration emails and password related communications are now delivered in the language chosen by the user. It worth to add that we are more than happy to provide .po files to whoever is willing to help with translations. If need will arise we'll consider the possibility to upload localization files to the Apache Pootle server so that existing translation teams can help and the site can be translated into more than the current three languages (English, French, German). Recovering passwords has been simplified to cover cases where users had difficulties in resetting their passwords: users receive an email in their language with a simple link to reset their password with no further steps. Sites have been converted to use a more efficient anti-spam system that will improve handling by extensions maintainers: the system will not trigger anti-spam warnings and page unpublishing when the author modifies a popular extension. *Changes users facing*. *The new extensions home<http://extensions.openoffice.org/>*has a strong focus on the search box, a brand new logo, and an overall redesigned look and fee
Adding Blog Authors (was RE: Apache OpenOffice Templates and Extensions new sites)
Marcus, I note that <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11130> has made no progress. I also notice that my blogs.apache.org Roller account has a different password than my ASF User ID account. (My Apache ID is used as my Roller Username. I don't think that is a requirement). When I log in I see a list of blogs I can edit, manage, or configure. The only blog that is listed is the Apache OpenOffice one and I am shown as having AUTHOR permissions. Since this was all created when we were incubating and I think Rob Weir took care of it, I have no idea what the ceremony is. Marcus, do you have MANAGE privileges or something different than AUTHOR? There seems to be a chicken-and-egg problem. I see no means to sign up via a blog-page form, so someone must seed the account with AUTHOR permissions for <https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/>. I have added a comment to the JIRA INFRA request. If anyone has insight on how to activate an author, please say so. Also, do we know how to have administrative permission for the OOo blog? - Dennis > -Original Message- > From: Marcus [mailto:marcus.m...@wtnet.de] > Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 08:16 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Apache OpenOffice Templates and Extensions new sites > > In the past I could add new users to the blog but this time I had to > open a ticket for Infra: > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11130 > > Please be patient. > > Marcus > > > > Am 01/27/2016 04:47 PM, schrieb Roberto Galoppini: > > thanks Marcus. > > I'd like to upload it myself, so that I can add some pics too. > > Can you provide me with an account? > > > > Roberto > > > > 2016-01-27 15:51 GMT+01:00 Marcus<marcus.m...@wtnet.de>: > > > >> Thanks for the text.

Let me start by saying that by now at registration time language preferences are kept into account. We made this change because we got a number of complaints, especially from French folks. For improving the localization feel free to pass me privately some strings, or if you wish to contribute more heavily we could pass the .po file onto you. Let me know what works best for you.

Apache OpenOffice Templates and Extensions new sites
Hi all, Over the last few months we have been busy redesigning the Apache OpenOffice Templates and Extensions experience, basically incorporating feedback and simplifying the existing procedures. As a result both sites are now easy to use both for end-users - see how prominent is the search or how using different colors we made trivial to understand for which application a given template has been designed for - and admins - the most common actions are all in a top bar, and uploading is now trivial. In the process we redesigned the look and feel, iconized all menu items and more. I wrote a quick blog post at my blog, see http://robertogaloppini.net/2016/01/12/about-contributing-to-apache-openoffice/ Roberto
