OpenOffice.org maintains two repositories, one for extensions and one for templates.
While the two sites are completely independent, Extensions and Templates are to be considered were born as twin sites, in that they use used the same technology (Drupal), a similar visual identity and were developed by the same people; the lead developer was Thorsten Bosbach from Oracle and all development was done within Oracle.
The sites are hosted in the Oregon State University, Open Source Lab data center.
Both sites run on Drupal; they were created on Drupal Unverified: Oracle is providing financial support to OSUOSL for hosting the two sites.
Major differences between the two sites:
Extensions | Templates |
|---|---|
Runs on Drupal 5, now unsupported (currently supported releases of Drupal are Drupal 6 and Drupal 7, and end-of-life for Drupal 6 will be in 2012 or later) |
...
Runs on Drupal 6 (updated in February 2011) | |
Has independent, site-specific, accounts | Uses the same accounts as the openoffice.org main site (you login with your @openoffice.org address) |
Daily traffic (August 2010): | Daily traffic (August 2010): |
Language-independent (even though the interface is multilingual, the same extensions are presented to all visitors) | Language-dependent (visitors with browsers in English only see the English templates, and so on for all supported languages) |
Has (limited) interaction with the OpenOffice.org program (capability to search updated extensions) | No interaction with the OpenOffice.org program: once a template is downloaded, OpenOffice.org can't know where it comes from or check if a newer version is available |
