The Extensions site has and is causing serious trouble.
The lesser problem is that many links to it are down (giving "Connection reset" error), including its "Contact Us" link; hence the message here. The main site "Do more" link is down.
The big problem is that the site is advertising an update to the English language dictionary, for v3.3 Writer users, via the automatic mechanism for keeping extensions up-to-date. However, what gets downloaded is a "Khmer" dictionary (as of 2011-05-10) which then appears in the Extension Manager's list. The previous English dictionary disappears from that list, and cannot be found by some other routines (like hyphenation).
This could be a serious problem if the statistics are right. The main Extensions site can be reached through the main site "Contribute"/"programming"/"repository" link chain. A search from there on "Khmer" shows a Khmer dictionary with over 80K downloads. A different Khmer dictionary shows a reasonable 3K downloads. We may have 80K users out there who will have to delete the Khmer dictionary to get rid of its problems. They will not be pleased.
Sorry for posting a non-dev problem here, but at least somebody who reads this list should know whose cage to rattle.
