We have had a migration wizard for user settings (was it OOo 1.x to

Starting clean would be my recommended approach, seeing that the user
profile is responsible for the majority of user-reported problems. If we
want to include a user profile migration (which indeed can be reasonable
if we want to offer a better user experience) then my advice is that we
should accompany it with a "reset profile" functionality available from
within the GUI, working more or less like the user interface language
settings (you change it from the GUI and changes are visible when you
restart OpenOffice).
Does somebody know, if the migration of installed extensions from OOo
2.x to OOo 3.x ever worked?
Migration of user data worked. I don't recall if migration of extensions
was working, but, based on the fact that surely this wasn't a major
discussion at the time, I would say that it was either disabled or
working, since nobody complained. However, the migration wizard could
also limit itself to migrating the user data without extensions, since
dictionary extensions might conflict with bundled extensions.
