Yes, it makes sense, but the abbreviation in itself is not meaningful, IMHO, and reminds of http://www.appdev.com/ and other commercial stuff, while api@ sounds more neutral; and OpenOffice.org API users/extension developers are used to it (in order to get an idea of the activity on this area, in OpenOffice.org days, you have to browse api@ mailing list, most of the traffic was there, not in extensions@). So, for the average OpenOffice.org extension/application developer, api@s already makes sense. Besides, an api@ list sound like the proper place to discuss API design and changes (like the ones that should be done in AOO 4.0). Just a question of taste, I could live with appdev :) Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
