Hi all,
We migrated the Extensions website over to sourceforge hardware.
We've restored authentication with the openoffice.org accounts, make
some module updates and updated the site to work with PHP 5.3.
As of today, the Extensions website is available at this address
located on our domain, at the following address:
http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net.
We've modified it to work under whatever domain name the community
chooses, and we plan to keep the site up and running under the above
domain to allow the community to provide us with feedback and to allow
for time to get the final DNS setup in place. We will work with the
PMCC and the Apache Infra team to point DNS to the new location as
soon as we can.
We are planning to get the Templates website up on sourceforge
hardware one week from today.
Here are some next steps to consider:
1 - Help users to switch their accounts smoothly. We can make sure
that existing users can login using their openoffice.org password and
automatically convert them to local users when they login, so that all
users who logged in to the site before the Oracle shutdown will be
preserved and will be able to see and edit their content.
2 - Help market AOO Extensions and Templates, e.g. interviewing
creators and sharing the news via our media.
3 - Evaluate the upgrade of the Extensions/Templates website from
Drupal 5/6 to Drupal 7, and eventually do it (long term).
We are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.
thanks for the info.
I was able to take a closer look on it in the morning. I was able to login
and noticed that my old @sun.com email is used.
I tried to change it to my Apache email but it didn't worked. It seems that
I had to use @openoffice.org email address. How can I change it? I think we
will probably switch to other email addresses.
Let me briefly recap how the Extensions website works, and how we
eventually plan to change it.
1. Users logging in at openoffice.org (the vast majority) can't change
emails nor their passwords.
2. Users logging in at the Extensions website (i.e. users who never
migrated their accounts to openoffice.org, a small fraction of the
user base) are told to convert their accounts to an openoffice.org
accounts. They might change their emails, but only to a
*@openoffice.org.
We have already changed the misleading message requiring to migrate to
openoffice.org, telling users instead that they won't have any problem
when the openoffice.org authentication system will shut down. We are
now working on:
a) accept any email address (optionally we can avoid to accept
*@openoffice.org).
b) New users creating their accounts at the Extensions website.
c) Find a way to migrate users actually logging in at openoffice.org.
I would prefer a). Nobody should use @openoffice.org emails addresses in
the future. And we don't have a common user management for all. We have
committers who have Apache ID's and potentially want upload an extension
and we have users who simply want provide extensions.

Anybody should be able to provide an extension independent of committer
status for Apache OpenOffice. Means user accounts independent from the the
Apache accounts.
