Re: [libreoffice-design] Discussion about Extensions-Site-Layout

Hi all,

just a quick update ... I've moved the use case list and the "Twitter, G
+ and Facebook in extension and templates?" discussion to the wiki page
covering the Extension website:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Extensions-website#Requirements_and_Constraints

Sorry for the drafty look and the unrefined formulation ... but I
thought its more important to conserve that than waiting even longer. So
please feel free to improve those thoughts.

It would be cool if somebody could start to draft some workflows /
screenflows based on these lists ... and then we'll can ask Andreas how
easy (or hard) it is to incorporate these.

Cheers,
Christoph
