As I understand the message above, this is taken for granted, i.e., the final domain name will be decided by this AOO community and (even if it is different from extensions.services.openoffice.org) the existing domain will also be redirected to it. There are no reasons for doing it differently, are there any?

Thanks! Advertised to the Italian users list too http://s.apache.org/dkQ but with the important difference that I explicitly stated that the aoo-extensions.sf.net URL is temporary. At least that was my understanding.

In other words: I expect that, if the new site is working, we decide to make it available as extensions.openoffice.org or extensions.services.openoffice.org and that, in any case, the old extensions.services.openoffice.org is fully redirected to the new website, for the obvious reasons stated above (updates, hardcoded links).

If this is the common understanding, the Bugzilla issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118976 should be updated with this information.

And, regarding other comments in the forum thread above: - A user stated that he can't login with his OOo username, but it worked for me and apparently for the other people who posted here. - Hagar Delest changed existing links into aoo-extensions.sf.net but I'm not sure this is right: I think it is the same stuation we have for the forum, where we have a *.apache.org URL and user.services.openoffice.org but we (at least I do) use only the openoffice.org address commonly.
