Improvement of provided extensions
The review of the provided extensions is currently a simple process: If somebody finds something unusual to an extension, the 'report abuse here' link is used and the comment reviewed and acted on by a few people. During the last days some groups formed, that do a closer look on the provided extensions, defined on thier own processes:
- the german qa list: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/DE/QAExtensions
- only in german, target is to take a closer look on some extension regarding the quality based on defined criteria
Overview of available licenses
You have to categorise your extension in one of the following license categories:
- Opensource
- Freeware
- Shareware
- Commercial
Licenses fields
In addition you may provide detailed license data with:
- License link as URL, which is shown as the word 'License' with the link in the extension presentation.
- License text: provide the whole text, which is also shown as the word 'License' with a link that goes to a page, showing the text
- Link to the source code
We gave the extension provider the freedom to provide a license, it is the task of the submitter to put in the value. We decided to not provide a list of possible licenses due to the fact that it will never be complete, and would cost too much maintainance work.
