In terms of user feedback/content, the AOO page provides a lot more opportunities: 1) There's a score from 1-5 stars This is similar to , but provides more granularity, than an up/down vote. 2) "Compatible with OpenOffice 4: Yes" We don't have any uploaded files on the extension test site to compare... 3) "User feedback: Compatible with OpenOffice 4.x? (up/down votes as percentage)" This kind of feedback is very useful. Even better would be a bar chart/heatmap corresponding to each version of an extension. There could be a slot for each version of LibreOffice (we'd only display LO versions that have been tested). We could perhaps take a cue from WineHQ's visualization: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=648 > >From a support point of view I feel it would also be good to enforce visible > contact details for extension publishers.

Andreas -- Could this requirement be tied to the creation of an account with extension-publishing powers? Ideally we'd give the user an option of providing an email address or website url. We'd want to include some language suggesting that we might deprecate or disable the pages of publishers/extensions that don't have an active support mechanism. --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qu...@libreoffice.org -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
