I am writing a section for OOo documentation for publication that
describes OOo Extensions (as in, what are they, how to import, and how
to activate). The target audience is interested in creating macros using
the macro recorder; and I have a lot of text regarding that complete
with pictures.
I spent a couple of hours following links and such, but I am still a bit
confused. A link to a simple extension that is packaged and ready for
activation would be great, preferably with a little readme that says "to
install this extension, do ....."
If you care, this is what I have so far.
An extension is a package that can be installed into OpenOffice.org to
add new functionality. An extension, which can be written in almost any
programming language, may be very sophisticated or simple. Extensions
can be grouped into types:
* Calc Add-Ins provide new functionality for Calc, including new
functions that act like normal built in functions.
* New components and functionality, which normally include some level of
UI integration such as new menus or toolbars.
* Data pilots, which can be used directly in Calc.
* Chart Add-Ins with new chart types.
* Linguistic components such as spell checkers.
* Document templates and images.
Although individual extensions may be found in different places, there
is an extension repository here:

?? How to import and activate an extension ??
