Another option that comes to mind: 3) Have OOo extensions hosted by a 3rd party website and we link to that site. It is done that way essentially now with OSL. But I think we'll want to be more explicit about such links to 3rd party sites going forward, stating that this is not Apache code, etc. Also, if most of the extensions are applicable to LibreOffice and other derived products, as well as OpenOffice, then this might be an opportunity for collaboration with The Document Foundation on a common extension repository. >> Rob says: >> >>> Can we make it a priority to migrate these two site to Apache?
