Since the extensions site has 3rd party code that is not under Apache 2.0 license, we have two options: 1) The new extensions.openoffice.org site hosts no code or binaries. It is simply a directory of 3rd party extensions and links to outside sites for the actual files. 2) Optionally, in conjunction with #1, host the extension source and distributions at http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting/ . That is where Apache projects host things like this. > Rob says: > >> Can we make it a priority to migrate these two site to Apache? We >> need volunteers to do this. Nothing happens by magic here.
