If it will then we can ask Infra to change the dns records. No, a DNS change is definitely not the way to go. Thanks to the "universal redirect" we have in place to accommodate legacy (pre-2011) openoffice.org subdomains, I think we can fix this as follows: - Right now, the wrong URL "extension.openoffice.org" goes to http://www.openoffice.org/projects/extension/ (which does not exist) - We simply put something there (and we can do this with a simple SVN commit) like: --- OpenOffice Extensions: see https://extensions.openoffice.org OpenOffice Templates: see https://templates.openoffice.org --- and no automated redirect. Anything else will lead people to use wrong URLs and distribute them, and will make any future changes more complex. This way we still help people who write the wrong URL, but we make clear which URL is correct.

That sounds good! Can you set up a simple page? We can add some graphics afterwards...
