Hi joerg
For the web install, see Mathias' answer. If we support that and make it
easy for anyone to upload their macros to an 'official' repository the
security risk is really high.
I agree (hum almost as i strongly would like a repository :) ), there
should be an audit of every macro/addon

What is a level 1 font. Can you give more details about what isn't

professionals - most fonts used in magazines

Well... you have a point. We could require people to submit the addons
under the same license as OOo itself. I think many people would be
receptive to that. It sounds reasonable, and it sounds Perl-ish. :-)
