Are you saying LO cannot, or they just have not, done this?

I just rechecked my "personal" collection of .oxt extensions and I have 
well over 100 of them.  I believe that I have PDF copies of their 
information printed from the information and linked pages.  So all it 
takes is someone to start building the pages.  I do not know if we 
should make it a mirror, but I think it should be our own page style.

http://libreoffice-na.us/English/extensions.html  [3.3.2]
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/extensions.html

These pages are LibreOffice North American Community DVD's short list of 
extensions and longer one for dictionaries.  Would an expanded 
multi-page version of this be something that LibreOffice's main site[s] 
would want to link to?  I could work on set of pages that would be 
dedicated to Extensions, Templates, and Galleries.  There will be no 
search feature for my pages, since I have not done that type of work in 
a long time.

So what do you think?  Should someone create a multi-page site listing 
as many of the extensions that are "popular" for the LibreOffice users?  
Maybe 100+ extensions, plus; all the dictionaries, all the galleries, 
and templates found or that works with LO properly?

"obscure rare extension" ?  Well, there are those that are not popular, 
but many of them that I saw looks like they were work-around or addition 
that is no longer needed.  But the one that deal with LaTex and other 
specific needs may still be useful.
