LibreOffice launches extension and templates repository for public beta test

Developers invited to contribute their addons
Community-based review process ensures quality and reliability

LibreOffice, the free office productivity suite, can be enhanced with 
hundreds of extensions and templates. Users can download these smart 
extras to improve the suite's functionality to fit their job or hobby, 
and developers can easily write their own add-ons and share it with 
millions of users worldwide.

Since at the moment there is no reliable and stable source for 
downloading these handy add-ons, the LibreOffice community has put great 
efforts into launching a public repository. It does not only provide 
extensions and templates for LibreOffice, but also for OpenOffice.org 
and other compatible office suites. Users of these can benefit from the 
work and the commitment of our community, and are invited to have a look 
at recent versions of our product, which already has included has the 
most popular extensions, and comes with many new features.

The new site is now in public beta testing at 
http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org and has been created in 
cooperation with the Plone community, on whose technology it is based. 
To ensure the quality and reliability of the offered extensions, a 
community-based review process is currently set in place: Community 
volunteers test and review available extensions, and those meeting 
criteria of quality will be tagged accordingly.

We warmly invite all developers to submit their extensions and fill the 
repository, where millions of users worldwide will be able to download 
and benefit from their work. All extensions submitted during the public 
beta test will remain in the repository after the beta test, so this is 
your chance to join the efforts right from the beginning!
