The macros are LGPL licensed so I don't think licensing is an issue. I have signed a JCA (I hope it was received as I got no confirmation). So I think the legal issues are covered. Russ (and now James) at ooomacros.org have done a great job in hosting macros, but I confess I never quite felt sure when one of my macros was ready to be released - so having them on a site where I could pull them or rapidly update them was/is important to me. However, I'm hoping for, and with what time I can afford working towards, a more extensive system for OOo extensions. I think that some of the holdups for OOo extensions are: * getting a clear namespace for "extensions" * my finding the time to complete the macro for conversion from Writer to MediaWiki (so that the wiki at ext.openoffice.org.nz can be shifted to wiki.services.opnoffice.org) For a more extensive coverage of issues see the extensions mail list archive. People wishing to discuss extensions for OOo could join the extensions maillist: http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList So, for now, a link to http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has the time to convert the macros to uno packages so that they are easy to install in OOo2.0.x I would be very grateful.
