Because some extensions works only in a special version with Linux-x64 I created a new option for releases in the PloneSoftwareCenter. I commited this option some days ago to the Plone community repository. Today I updated the LibreOffice ExtensionCenter site with all the changes I and others did in the last days to PloneSoftwareCenter. See the picture below for the new 64-penguin.

There were a discussion about the choosing of a license in the release page of the projected LibreOffice extension and template center. It was complained that a contributor will not be aware about the choose of the license, because of a drop down field that was already initialized with a default license. I changed the drop down field to a radio format and added a new warning text to the description of the field (see the screenshot below). I think this will solve the issue.

I had some difficulties with the former theme product (plonetheme.basic), because it doesn't work fine with Plone 4.0.7 and after some tweaks it works only fine in the show modus but not in the edit modus. I can't see any lists in the edit modus. I had to edit in html-view. That was very annoying.
Thus I created a new theme product from scratch and changed this new product to the styles of the new Sunburst theme of Plone. The edit mode works fine now and our website team at Frodev.org (the website of the German association Freies Office Deutschland e.V.) can start its work now ;-)

I updated three Plone instances with the Plone-Hotfix-Patch today. This instances were used by the German Association (NGO) Freies Office Deutschland e.V., the current legal entity behind LibreOffice /TDF, the ODFAuthors group and for the upcomming LibreOffice extensions and templates repository. The security update for Plone takes - as usal - less than 10 minutes per instance.

The Plone Software Center drives the upcoming LibreOffice Extension and Template Center. Because some of the extensions for LibreOffice had to be build and released especially for Linux-x64, the Plone Software Center need an option for that. I added this option last weekend and uploaded it with an special penguin image to the community repository of Plone today.

I added Plone Software Center to my local buildout script and and installed this add-on product. Afterwards I activated this product and created a software center in my local Plone instance. I tested some features of this product to get an overview of the features of this product.
This product is used on Plone.org to provide the software and a lot of add-ons: http://plone.org/products.

I worked today on an update of OOoAuthors to a new minor version of Plone 4. Every thing went smoothly and it took shorter then I expected. I made a backup of the database and run the buildout of Plone during 8 minutes. ODFAuthors is up to date now.

I worked on a RSS-Feed for the new ODFAuthors site today. It was a bit tricky to enable it, because it is well hidden ;-)
But this feature is now available for every folder of the site. It can be enabled for every folder seperately. There is a first feed (for test purpose) available at http://www.odfauthors.org/RSS.
