As of today, the Extensions website is available at this address
located on our domain, at the following address:
http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net.
We've modified it to work under whatever domain name the community
chooses ...
Just a general question: is it possible to redirect the old address to
the new one? As someone noticed on the forums(1), the old address is
build-in on OOo
As I understand the message above, this is taken for granted, i.e., the
final domain name will be decided by this AOO community and (even if it
is different from extensions.services.openoffice.org) the existing
domain will also be redirected to it. There are no reasons for doing it
differently, are there any?
BTW, the new address is advertised on the ES, EN, IT and (thanks to
Floris V) Dutch forums.

Thanks! Advertised to the Italian users list too
http://s.apache.org/dkQ
but with the important difference that I explicitly stated that the
aoo-extensions.sf.net URL is temporary. At least that was my understanding.
In other words: I expect that, if the new site is working, we decide to
make it available as extensions.openoffice.org or
extensions.services.openoffice.org and that, in any case, the old
extensions.services.openoffice.org is fully redirected to the new
website, for the obvious reasons stated above (updates, hardcoded links).
If this is the common understanding, the Bugzilla issue
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118976
should be updated with this information.
And, regarding other comments in the forum thread above:
- A user stated that he can't login with his OOo username, but it worked
for me and apparently for the other people who posted here.
- Hagar Delest changed existing links into aoo-extensions.sf.net but I'm
not sure this is right: I think it is the same stuation we have for the
forum, where we have a *.apache.org URL and user.services.openoffice.org
but we (at least I do) use only the openoffice.org address commonly.

Andrea.
