Hello Peter,
I try to build the "extensions" which can be used with AOO Base like
reportbuilder and mysql-connector.
I also try to build the pdf-importer.
Thanks for this great effort.
IMO you nedd the whole build to get them
technically that might be true, but my thoughts are independent of this.
The question is purely organizational.
should extensions be part of the Apache OpenOffice project?
If we accept this as a Part of the Apache Project, do we need a "but"?
Like yes it is part of the Project, but it is not a core responsibility
and has its own sub team / volunteers.
We might need then to think about an internal Attic project, which puts
project on unmaintained.
Or do we say: "no we can not organize this within Apache OpenOffice
Project, we need to organize this outside". Do we need then some sort of
umbrella Organization to connect all 3rd parties with the core?
There are consequences to consider, and maybe from this steps result
that we need to look at
All the best
Peter.

I have a question. How much willing are we to support extensions.
I mean we have here a voice recognition questions, there is the
reporting tool or wiki extension.
We already thinking on creating repos for reporting tool or the wiki
extensions.
But how do we deal with those topics on the organisatorical level?
Do we form I do not know how to name them, task force around them? Do
the people who whish to be delevop these functions do this in an outside
project (independant if this is a Apache project or github self
sufficient hosted)
I would opt that we agree on some form to enable volunteer to use the
project infrastructure and provide them with a stronger feeling that
they are part of the project even if they are only working on an
extension of none core features.
This makes it easier to bring the community together. I mean the wording
3rd parties bring a lot of discussion and the need to explain things, to
the table.
I am just wondering what everyone else thinks.
All the best
Peter
