The add-on concept is something that I started discussing on this list last year, moved to the api-dev list. The general view was that the word "extension" was better than "add-on".

An easy way for the author of an extension or template to package and upload their work. 2. A system within OpenOffice.org for a user to find, download and install an extension or template. In February I put together a draft wizard for 2. It is available from: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43532 It is rough and pretty awful but maybe it is a starting point for discussing what is needed. I also hope that people will use and extend the wiki on writing extensions for OpenOffice.org: http://ext.openoffice.org.nz.
