Unless specific page URLs are provided, nobody can give you the specific reason that an extension, or template is not available. In my experience, the four most common reasons for non-availability are: * The item was never publicly released; * The item is obsolete/no longer support, and a request to no longer distribute the item was honoured; * The item was hosted on a third party site, which has since disappeared; * The item is not for Apache OpenOffice, but rather is for Microsoft Office, or another non-compatible office suite; > i have spent the last HOUR on the site downloading just two templates. none I understand the frustration of spending a long time searching for items, only to not be able to retrieve them. > and of course NO DOWNLOAD BUTTON. If you were on the official Apache Open Office Extension Site, and the official Apache Open Office Template Site, clicking on the extension, or template will take you to the SourceForge page, where the file is automatically downloaded. > a curator should be deleting the MANY false entries and the actual page I will grant that there are a number of extensions that do not work with the current version of Apache OpenOffice. However, they work with older versions, and are thus retained. > frame should include a "REPORT PAGE" button (in RED i think) to inform > curator(s) there may be a problem that a curator may need to address.
