AOOE has been successfully migrated, below a concise list of improvements, a blog post on SF will follow next week (possibly coordinating that with the new AOO release). 1. The whole platform has been upgraded to a web 2.0ish style. Adding more content, serve developers' needs as well as scale with end-users' growth is easier now. 2. The look&feel has been updated and aligned with the new AOO 4 look. We put the word 'beta' in the header, to be removed once the new release will go out. 3. The search has been improved and it provides the autocomplete functionality (try it out writing 'dr' for example). 4. The auto-update for Extensions has been reactivated. 5. A new feature allows devs to report AOO 4.0 compatibility for their extensions, and by default we set all to 'unknown'. Have a look at http://extensions.openoffice.org/upgrade/400/abcdef+754758+df418f+a81383 to get an example. Note that to take full advantage of this new feature we need authors to set properly the compatibility field, and to crack a new Extension to check extensions compatibility or changes (it should check which extensions are installed, e.g. A, B, C and then call http://extensions.openoffice.org/upgrade/400/A+B+C). Maybe we can discuss further option once AOO 4 will be released. 6. Finally Extensions authors have full control over comments and spam.
