The reason I have so many files on the server was the fact I never 
removed the older files.

3.3.1, 3.3.2, and 3.3.3 install files are all on the server.

The web page was updated to the newest files, but not I did not remove 
the old ones.  That helped for my archiving, since I made a mistake and 
deleted my archive folders for these versions.  I want to keep as many 
of the versions as I can archived, for now, offline.  But having them 
archived online might be a good thing for people as well, since I know 
someone wanted them and I could not remember how to find the LO site's 
archived section for older versions.

I think Florian will want the 3 missing 4.1 version French dictionaries 
on their server, so I sent them to you and those emails on that message 
"thread".  I also found a few other .oxt dictionaries not listed on the 
OOo site.  Those would be nice to include in the dictionary list.

The extensions.html file has all the dictionaries, as far as I remember, 
linked to the .oxt files that have their .dic dates included so the 
users can know who up-to-date those word lists are.  It is nice when you 
find ones that have version numbers being updated, but, as far as I 
know, some have been updated in the past without any version number 
shown in the filename.

Also the info you asked about what we do with all these dictionaries, 
extensions, and templates, we/I have needing a place for sharing with 
other projects is important.  There are so many extensions that have not 
been added to our NA list that I have in my offline archive[s].  These 
need to be placed on a LibreOffice server for everyone to be able to 
download and/or use in their own CMS page[s].  LO users should not have 
to go to flaky OOo pages to get these .oxt files.

If need be, I would create several extension pages for use on a LO 
server.  It will not be one that you can search like OOo's site, but it 
could be organized in function groups.  Dictionaries in one group, 
Writer aids in another. Special functions in a third, etc., etc..  We 
can decide how the extensions are grouped.  Then you could either have 
one large page with "shortcut" anchors to skip down to the group you 
need, or make the groups different pages.

I have over 80[?] extensions with almost 200 dictionaries, if you do not 
count both the original and updates files.  I know there are more .oxt 
extensions available, but I downloaded the ones that I might be 
interested in using.  For the total number of extensions that are out 
there on the OOo site, and other places, I "feel" there may be 150 to 
200 of them, with many not needed anymore or not working with the newer 
versions of OOo or LO.

So, there are a lot of things needed to be though about for dictionaries 
and other extensions.  Templates are a different matter and I will not 
get into that discussion in this email thread.
