I updated the blog post here: https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/retirement_of_openoffice_org_email But note that there is no guarantee that the announcement list reaches all of those people who have accounts on the extensions or templates website.

Do you have any metrics on what % of accounts have converted? -Rob > Roberto >
