Alright - well just tried to hit the extension site (from the OO.o front page) 6 times, 5 'connection reset', 1 time success - then clicked on templates and 'connection reset' No hands up here yet that I've seen. People do want to have this site up, yes? So - I said I'd not be much help, that isn't the same as no help. I assume all the drupal setup is under version control, or is it just the custom changes (with any schema changes) - either way I can setup a VM here and see about tackling an update from 5 to 6 (not 7???) _while_ Sending an email to the apache infra ml looking for additional help.
