So even if Oracle drops all support for OOo, this site will still be 
up?  Oracle has ended OOo support and development, according to the news 
on the lists and such.  So I wonder what will happen to the OOo domain 
since Oracle "owns" that name as a "trademark".  Who will be paying for 
the domains name and such if Oracle "ends" everything involved with that 
name and product line?

That is some of my concern.

I think TDF should think about creating their own list of Extensions and 
Templates that is hosted and stored on a site that TDF controls, SO we 
do not need to have LO users go to a OOo site.
