Hi :)
I think that LO is in an unusual position. We can really open things up and
promote non-TDF/LO solutions because it shows that LO is a team player and that
people wouldn't get locked-in to depending on LO for everything.
I have been thoroughly enjoying watching NASA videos about the International
Space Station. Resupply is sometimes done by Russian rockets, sometimes
Japanese, sometimes European Space Agency. The people living or visiting the
space station are usually from different countries. American astronauts sent
up by Russian rockets and all different combinations. Now with commercial
rockets joining the mix it is really opening up and that has vastly increased
the skill-sets, experience, understanding and longer-term viability of each
country involved in the project.
Regards from
Tom :)

IMO we should not be promoting extensions that are not in the LO
extensions repository... unless they are unusually outstandingly
helpful. We do have a generic statement that people can get extensions
from various places.
Also In a few cases, extensions we mention are now bundled with LO
itself so the wording in the docs needs changing. In some other
cases, including with Calc, some extensions that might have been
listed in an earlier version of the documentation don't actually work
well with LO and should be dropped from our docs... whether they are
in the LO repository or not.

Hi :)
I think it is ok now, to point to the OOo site for things.
I agree it is better to point to LO sites where possible but we can be fairly
confident in OOo Extensions working equally well in LO. Also when Oracle
were running the OOo websites they kept dropping out from time-to-time. Now
that Apache are running them they seem to be up all the time and we can be
reasonably confident that they wont suddenly vanish over-night.
The LO pages for Extensions are likely to continue to be more stable for LO
than for Apache because LO has already done it's re-organising and Apache
might still shift things around a bit to stream-line them a bit.

Yes, good catch. I've been trying to find those and amend or omit them.

Oops. The point to be made is that just changing the site name doesn't mean
the extension is there.

Hi Jean
Just to say that in the doc I'm working on now, there's a reference to two
extensions on the LO extensions website, perhaps changed in an earlier
version of the doc when going to 3.3, that is in error. What it refers to,
appears to only be available on the OOo site. Searching on the LO site
returns zero hits. I have marked it in the doc for further attention.

While skimming through the Impress v3.4 chapters, I spotted a few
errors that are also in v3.5 (I missed them before). I'll fix in both
versions. The only one I recall right now is a reference to the OOo
extensions website, which should be the LO extensions website. I'll
let everyone know when I've done all the minor updates.
