Hi Roberto, Thank you very much! I have some technical questions related to managing the openoffice.org domain to point to the site.

Is this a permanent address? Obviously we can redirect URLs to the aoo-extensions.sf.net domain, but it would be better if the sites can keep an openoffice.org url. To test the current ability I modified my /etc/hosts 216.34.181.96 extensions.services.openoffice.org With that http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ returns: This space is managed by SourceForge.net. You have attempted to access a URL that either never existed or is no longer active. Please check the source of your link and/or contact the maintainer of the link to have them update their records. I would propose that the site have the following three possible domain names: aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net extensions.openoffice.org extensions.services.openoffice.org All with the same IP. Is this feasible? Or, do we need to pick one as the primary and redirect the others? > > We are planning to get the Templates website up on sourceforge > hardware one week from today. Great!
