However, the Board and -- I am sure the community too -- are deeply grateful for your work here; and as you've been a member of the Board from the start, you were included in all discussions -- both internal and external -- about the struggle around that site though. The Good Thing is, this thread did yield at least three volunteers from the LibreOffice community wanting to help out with the extension website now that they are aware: Maarten, Ilmari and Andreas Kainz. From what I heard, some have tried to contact you on how to get involved or proceed, but unfortunately were unable to succeed. > Thus the extensions and templates website is not maintained since three > weeks yet.

Checking back, I learned the TDF infrastructure team is already aware of this, but still lacks some bits and pieces of how to operate the site - would be great if you can share those with them, here or in private, so that that handover can be closed. Beyond the immdiate issues: Thank you for the time and the work you put in the extension website over the all the years. For all the other stuff going on in the project, we often lost sight of it being an important entrypoint to the community and the ecosystem around LibreOffice. Whatever the volunteers of the LibreOffice community come up with for the future of hosting LibreOffice extensions, we would be happy to welcome you back to that someday.
