Do not use ooo-site.apache.org.  That is not the live site.  That is a staging site for conversion of the material and verification of the Apache project authoring and content-maintenance process in anticipation of a cut-over.  The live site will continue to be whatever is at http://openoffice.org.

In any case, the extensions are still at OSU and there is no plan to change that at this time.  However, the server at OSU is over-burdened and when it locks up for any reason, it may take a while for someone to notice and get it going again, especially on weekends.

     OpenOffice.org has been given to the Apache Software Foundation by
Oracle. The present URL for OOo on Apache.org is
http://ooo-site.apache.org. From there you can click "I want to do more
with Open Office" to go to the extension web page. (The direct link is
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/. This is hosted by Oregon
State University. Sometimes there are difficulties reaching this web
site, and you have to try the link more than one time. (I seen reports
to this effect.
     [email protected] will be shut down by Oracle at some point. The
Apache mailing list taking the place of this one is:
[email protected]. To subscribe to the new mailing list
send an empty email to [email protected]. Then
reply to the confirmation email when you receive it. It is basically the
same as when you subscribed to OOo earlier.
