This would really be suboptimal since the OpenOffice.org community really expects to use the extensions site both for downloading and uploading extensions: unaffiliated members involved with extensions development used to outnumber unaffiliated members working on core. > > 2) Optionally, in conjunction with #1, host the extension source and > > distributions at http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting/ . > ... 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 OK, then it's probably time to decide on a DNS zone corresponding to what used to be *.services.openoffice.org and dedicated to community resources, since the Apache Extras option does not seems practical seeing the dozens of sites needed. Maybe "*.services.openoffice.org" is not explicit enough: would "*.community.openoffice.org" be better? Shorter options? Regards, Andrea.
