Here a quick update, see below.
The plan is to transparently migrate users authenticating at
OpenOffice.org to the Extensions, by storing locally their
credentials. For the time being their email addresses will stay
@openoffice.org, but the idea is to migrate them all if we can get
their alternative emails. In fact we assume many of them won't access
the Extensions website before the Oracle authentication system will
shut down.
AFAIK Oracle will not divulge alternative email. So, I think you will need
to let them recreate openoffice.org accounts and immediately associate these
with their issues.
I'm working with Roberto on this - I think we have a reasonable solution in
the works.
We collaboratevely find a solution to the problem, and we are going to
migrate Extensions and Templates users' accounts as soon as we'll get
all the necessary information. Once done users will be able to reset
their passwords through the "Lost password?" function.
Keep in mind that starting from the 15th of March users will
eventually loose the opportunity to login using their openoffice.org
passwords, though.
thanks fir the update Roberto, can you tell me where we are with the
extension update Url and the service behind. Do you need help to
understand what the service has done? We have to check the code to
figure out how the requests look in detail ...
In the extension manager dialog the user can ask for updates of
installed extensions ... But I am sure you are aware of this ;-)
