Extensions is a perfectly describing term for all the stuff we have in mind. - UNO components in different languages (add-ons, calc add-ins, filter, ...) - macro libraries (Basic, Java, JavaScript, Python, ...) - document templates (deployed as UNO package) - where of course UNO package is the wrng term, we have to find a better one - galleries (deplyoed as packages) - and maybe others We should search for a name describing that best. - a not already used term in the area of OO - covering all different aspects - intuitive and easy to understand for the user We talk about things which can be seen on top of an existing office installation, they are optional, can be deployed at any time later after the installation.

Re: [api-dev] Re: [dev] new incubator : Call for Name
For reasons outlined by Jürgen: +1 Extensions For the extensions wiki I used ext.openoffice.org.nz. I don't think it would be much of an issue to have extension and extensions.openoffice.org mapping to the same location.

Re: [api-dev] Re: [dev] new incubator : Call for Name
I ran this by a couple of the engineers here at work. The conclusion we came to is that all the words that correctly describe the group have be used already in software terminology. The best suggestions were to use 'accessories' or to make up a new word. A manufactured word will be the same in all languages, so there's no translation issues. Take 'Blog', for instance. I doubt that it's any different no matter what the language. tc p.s.

Hi, Laurent Godard wrote: - extensions.openoffice.org (already 3 votes) -1, We already have a cvs module named 'extensions' in the 'util' project. This situation (a module in one project is named like another project) is prone to cause confusion. Unfortunately we already have at least one case of this situation (module util/tools vs. project tools), but IMHO we should proliferate it any more.
