Hi Cor, > My impression is not that people in this discussion think that it will > be easy per see.
I got a bit different impression, and still see the extensive requirements doc (also the new one) highly contrasting with what I read as the idea of ‘just start iterating from ask.libreoffice.org <http://ask.libreoffice.org/>’ (I know, no-one said that as simply). Sure you can do your bookkeeping in Writer, no need for Calc (or Base), but I just wonder if you should even considering starting with Writer. > Since there are some advantages on Askbot, and the fact that boosting > the existing extensions site to a certain level somehow didn't work, we I’d suggest we first start with ’somehow’, much of what is specced is already working to some extend. - Lack of integration with LibreOffice? -> Create an API on top of the current database and integrate it with LibreOffice (another thing that I guess would be hard to realize with a foundation based on Askbot) - Lack of downloaders? -> - Maybe the site wasn’t looking professional enough? - Lack of discoverability, where to find a link to the extensions-site (Under “Discover?", that’s where you start before you’ve downloaded LibreOffice, not when you’re using it) - Maybe the screenshots were too small to even get an idea of what they’re getting? - Maybe the focus on ’new’ instead of ‘popular' made people wary of the quality of what is on offer? - Maybe the majority of the users don’t even care as much about extensions as much as we’d hope they do, and users don’t expect to find templates there as well? - Lack of contributors? -> All of the above + Maybe a function of the lack of downloaders? (no reward in creating & maintaining stuff that is not being used as much as you’d hoped for?) - Lack of moderators? -> All of the above? I really doubt that OAuth or not has anything to do with it. Localisation, probably yes. g., Maarten -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
