The new extension center of LibreOffice (http://extensions.libreoffice.org) reached his first hundred projects today. There were some new contributions to the site in the last days. The site is setup using a Plone CMS with the add-on Plone Software Center with blobstorage-support.
There are many language tools and spellchecker dictionaries available on the site and their number is growing day by day.
If you want to contribute your free open source extension for LibreOffice, go to the site, get an account and create a new project.

Some days ago I get feedback from the design team and changed the logo back to the original today. There was also a new question about the source code of the extension and an explanation, what's to do, if it's not inside: provide a link to the source code of the release.

The new LibreOffice extensions site is listed on Plone.org now: http://plone.org/support/sites/libre-office-extensions-site

Plone announced last week one of it's very seldom security patches for today. I had to update four Plone instances with this patch today. Because of the glorious "buildout" it took me only half an hour to patch all my sites. I had only to add a line to my buildout scripts with the patch-egg and every thing went well. The sites are up and running again.

In the last days I worked first on the implementation of a legal disclaimer for extension developers into the extension repository. I finished that and a new footer for the site last weekend. Next I installed a new add-on product, that manages the virus scanning for the content. I get this running today. Now the upload of extensions is virus protected (see the picture below).

I had a short look at the new Extension repository, that I created for LibreOffice, and I saw the number of projects is growing. There are currently fourteen projects on the site and I expect more of them in the next weeks, because we had not going into the wider public with this new sub-project.
The site is currently available under http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org. I created also a new repository for templates under http://templates-test.libreoffice.org. Both sites are running on Plone, a powerfull content and document/file management system.

If you have created an extension or a template for LibreOffice, that you want to publish under a free license, go to the site, create an account for free and publish your extension / template.
