I totally agree that this is "(3) This is /super/ good news" however, i request that a little time is taken to properly review the site and have the DNS updated appropriately before "and should go out on ooo-announce, blogs, et al. I will forward to ooo-users."
I'm not likely to be able to review myself for at least a week. There is no need to wait for me to do so, the PPMC is perfectly capable of this. However, remember that the approval from the board was conditional on there being no advertising on any ASF owned domain name. We need to verify that this is the case. I did remind Roberto of this condition during development so I have no reason to suspect that this is not the case already. I'm just requesting a full review from the PPMC before we make public statements. Of course, if the sourceforge.net domain is going to be the official domain then this requirement is irrelevant. In addition, I'd like to ask the community here to consider how best to engage the TDF in the future of this service. I doubt they will be comfortable with this service being a main repository for Libre Office and I guess that, over time, there will be some extensions that will not work in both applications. However I wonder if there is an opportunity here to invite the TDF to work with us as we move forwards on the extensions service? Finally, and most importantly, a big "thank you" to Roberto and the team at SF or making this work out for the AOO project.
