Good point, Dan. The OpenOffice.org Community Forums and the OpenOffice.org wiki are now hosted at ASF. They are served at their original openoffice.org live addresses however. Although some people know their staging-site addresses, those should not be used. Staging sites don't function fully when used apart from their OpenOffice.org locations.
At some point, the staging ooo-site will start being the source of OpenOffice.org content, but still at openoffice.org addresses. Any further refactoring between the Apache OpenOffice development areas (as for Bugzilla and the code base, already) and the user-facing/-interacting OpenOffice.org site will happen gradually and in many cases should not involve any disruption. I anticipate that it will be more like renovation and remodeling, while remaining in operation. Also, it is now better to use the [email protected] site to get our attention on availability and site difficulties. Not all of them can be handled, but it is usually possible to reach someone. That applies to the extensions site, for example. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dan Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2011 18:51 To: [email protected] Subject: [users] Re: what happened to the extensions?

There still seems to be some confusion as to what links will continue to be good and what ones are not. --Dan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2011 17:57 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [users] Re: what happened to the extensions? > > On Mon, 2011-11-21 at 10:40 +0900, Thomas Blasejewicz wrote: > > > > (2011/11/21 1:23), Larry Moore wrote: > > > This <http://www.openoffice.org/> gets me there. > > > > > > > > Yes, it takes me to > > http://www.openoffice.org/ > > > > Where I then click on the "I want to do more with Open Office" button, > > which then promptly results in an error, telling me, that the page > > cannot be displayed / the connection has been reset ... > > > > Is that only me? > > OpenOffice.org has been given to the Apache Software Foundation by > Oracle.
