You are invited to propose some concrete improvements. I wrote that it
is in a pre-pre-alpha status.

Yes, mentioned this already on the mailinglists. I'll create two Plone
addons (currently only the one for extensions is developed to usable
state / not finished).

Currently I don't plan to change the link from the extension manager of
LibreOffice to the start center. That's not the focus of my project but
maybe a topic of the design/UX team and the LibreOffice developer.

We have different users of the website:
a) contributors
b) 'consumer'

If you like you could provide a screendesign (image) or work directly
with HTML/CSS. Happy to get some input here.

It will be one website (not two like in the current state) with one user
base and two areas (side by side) with different search results etc.

The site and the addons support internationalization by design. It's
also possible to translate every content item in different languages.
Plone supports a lot of them (and the addons could do so too).

Yes, see my explanation above.

I'm not sure if our users don't know about the log-in feature. But you
could draw a sketch and we could discuss and get some steps further.

We doesn't have this green/white combination on libreoffice.org, do we?

The blue links are only a pre-pree-alpha state. It's very easy to change
colors in CSS.
