ReHi Bernhard: It seems I was about as mistaken as I was really unsure.
I now understand that the extensions are in a repository and more or less what I had suggested actually already exists. Great! However I wonder about 2 possible details, which I have not caught up with yet: 1) Is that repository all in .oxt formats for installation within Oo, or does it also function to serve .RPMs for Linux users of Oo? ---Oops! I just noticed your URLs below and have pasted them into a notepad for the moment. It's getting late here and I need to stop and eat before resuming. My main machine here boots 3 operating systems, BIOS controlled and shares the data. 2 of these (One Win XP home and 1 Fedora 12) run the appropriate versions of Oo. Additionally I have 1 more installation of Oo on a Win Me platform and another on a Fedora 12 platform (running on older hardware for a planned special purpose.) Hence you can understand why such questions. I also have another friend in the background who is a retired IT professional with a Master's degree who is helping me with the Linux problems I encounter as I primarily handle the hardware issues with a background of an electronic technician and an industrial electrician.

My OOo related work is more on art, marketing and branding. I just wanted to point Andy Brown to the official repositories of the OpenOffice.org extensions project [0], where everybody can upload his or her extensions and templates providing them for download to other users. He asked for votes about the user's preferred extensions and templates - he might find what he wants in these repositories. Perhaps you mistake me for Andy who in fact likes to add some extensions and templates to the installation disks he wants to provide for people with low download bandwidth. Best regards Bernhard PS: With regards to your proposal for integration of your huge repository around OOo with the existing repositories at the OOo site, please have a look at [1] and [2]. Perhaps you would be willing to share some of your templates and extensions with others by uploading them to the OOo repositories.
