I personally have no knowledge and no insight into the technical side. I only know that the download via Sourceforge is problematic for many users and that we do not offer an alternative. Even if this is only a single mirror, it would be a first step to create an alternative. > > We know exactly that we are almost completely dependent on > Sourceforge, because beyond Sourceforge we have only one > mirror (link I don't know at the moment) whose address is > only given in case of emergency and with the hint not to > spread the address too far so that the traffic doesn't get too high. > > I am more concerned about the Extensions and Templates sites > that are Drupal sites hosted by Source Forge. I know that there are problems there, but I myself capitulate to the lack of understanding of what is technically necessary and the (quasi) political will to solve certain things in a certain way. In my opinion it would be a good idea for the extensions to search for the best possible technical solution without preconditions and to implement it. This would be an interesting task, for which I am sure there would be volunteers.

I am not aware of anything else, I only recognize that a generous offer has been made to us here, which can be of great benefit to us and which we should therefore actively strive to realize. greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
