Hi Michael,

 The idea is to have a suggest an extension, then approval system prior to
publishing on the extensions directory. The same theory will be used for a
templates library as they also represent high value 'addons' to out
software.
We have been avoiding a public publishing system like a wiki for these, as
extensions and templates that we suggest also reflect on the quality of
our
product.


Can you tell me where does this come from? Where this decision has been
discussed and taken and by whom? The fact that we don't use the OOo site is
to satisfy a request that has nothing to do with quality.

We are an open source project, why should we prevent somebody to contribute
for whatever reason? what are the criteria for the quality you're talking
about, where are they written, who is the person giving the approval? That
would be funny that people could contribute to OOo but not to LibO...


It is a work in progress. We will be consulting with all of the stakeholders
once things settle down and LibO3.3 has been released. Rest assured we will
be able to change things once a community consensus has been reached.

We did not want to move focus away from the important areas of community
development at the moment. Hence the comment previously.

Stay tuned

Thanks,
Michael Wheatland
