Description Rainer Bielefeld 2013-07-21 06:30:41 UTC 
Under heading "Release Notes:" there is a link <http://home.vrweb.de/hillerd/Software.html>, clicking it results in message "The requested URL /hillerd/Software.html was not found on this server."

Same problem for other releases

Same problem for Provider link  under 'View'

In LibreOffice Extensions Repository I see a link to <http://www.divmondes.de>, what works, but also does not lead to Help or similar information.

I am trying to get contact to author Dietmar Hiller, currently no further action will be required here.

BTW: May be you can grant some edit permissions for the Extensions repository for me? I had reviewer permissions for LibO Extensions repository, so I think I have enough experience to do such smaller corrections "by the fly".

I see this in responsibility of authors, not AOO staff. But Product "Extensions" is no longer available. 

BTW, I think it was not a good idea to destroy that communication platform for extensions related problems.

May be this was because the extensions are (due to license concerns) no longer hosted on a server controlled directly by this project (now, the ASF), instead they are hosted at Sourceforge.

For what I seen up to know, all problems with the extensions/templates sites are reported to dev@openoffice.apache.org. (yes, this is rather suboptimal)
