So, I think you will need to let them recreate openoffice.org accounts and immediately associate these with their issues. > > Last but not least, since the Extensions updates in OOo 3.3.0 are > served through the updateexte.services.openoffice.org, we would ask > you to let us manage that too, so that we can restore the Extensions > updates service. Non-authoritative answer: updateexte.services.openoffice.org canonical name = download.services.openoffice.org. Name: download.services.openoffice.org Address: 192.9.173.38 Well, this leads to an issue that we may have missed - the MirrorBrain network of the legacy releases of OpenOffice.org. I think a discussion of this is worth a brand new thread.
