Hi all,
We migrated the Extensions website over to sourceforge hardware. We've restored authentication with the openoffice.org accounts, make some module updates and updated the site to work with PHP 5.3.
As of today, the Extensions website is available at this address located on our domain, at the following address:
http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net.
We've modified it to work under whatever domain name the community chooses, and we plan to keep the site up and running under the above domain to allow the community to provide us with feedback and to allow for time to get the final DNS setup in place. We will work with the PMCC and the Apache Infra team to point DNS to the new location as soon as we can.
We are planning to get the Templates website up on sourceforge hardware one week from today.
Here are some next steps to consider:
1 - Help users to switch their accounts smoothly. We can make sure that existing users can login using their openoffice.org password and automatically convert them to local users when they login, so that all users who logged in to the site before the Oracle shutdown will be preserved and will be able to see and edit their content.
2 - Help market AOO Extensions and Templates, e.g. interviewing creators and sharing the news via our media.
3 - Evaluate the upgrade of the Extensions/Templates website from Drupal 5/6 to Drupal 7, and eventually do it (long term).
We are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.
thanks for the info.
I was able to take a closer look on it in the morning. I was able to login and noticed that my old @sun.com email is used.
I tried to change it to my Apache email but it didn't worked. It seems that I had to use @openoffice.org email address. How can I change it? I think we will probably switch to other email addresses.
Let me briefly recap how the Extensions website works, and how we eventually plan to change it.
1. Users logging in at openoffice.org (the vast majority) can't change emails nor their passwords. 2. Users logging in at the Extensions website (i.e. users who never migrated their accounts to openoffice.org, a small fraction of the user base) are told to convert their accounts to an openoffice.org accounts. They might change their emails, but only to a *@openoffice.org.
We have already changed the misleading message requiring to migrate to openoffice.org, telling users instead that they won't have any problem when the openoffice.org authentication system will shut down. We are now working on:
a) accept any email address (optionally we can avoid to accept *@openoffice.org).
All users - that means both the majority of them authenticating via OpenOffice.org and the minority logging it at the Extensions website - would be able to change their email addresses. We won't allow @openoffice.org addresses, though.
b) New users creating their accounts at the Extensions website.
At http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net/user instead of inviting users to create @openoffice.org accounts will make possible to create accounts at the Extensions website.
c) Find a way to migrate users actually logging in at openoffice.org.
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.
Last but not least, since the Extensions updates in OOo 3.3.0 are served through the updateexte.services.openoffice.org, we would ask you to let us manage that too, so that we can restore the Extensions updates service.

Anybody should be able to provide an extension independent of committer status for Apache OpenOffice. Means user accounts independent from the the Apache accounts.
