Can anyone enlighten me what the phrase is intended to mean here? I idea behind this wording is to express the bi-directional way: a) You can download extensions/templates from other users and use them in your OpenOffice. b) But you can also create own extensions/templates and upload them to share with other users. Of course I don't know if this is good English language. However, it seems you have already changed the wording. ;-) I hope it's still fitting, otherwise you can change it.
