Hey Folks,

Thought I'd forward this here - if anyone wants to help polish (fix,
turn into proper English perhaps) the suggestion contained at teh bottom
of this forwarded email...please do - the thrust of the subject should
be self evident.

We need a proposal for the text on this home page that explains what
extensions and templates are used for, why they are so helpfull. Then
the user of the site should be encouraged to provide extensions and
templates to the new site.

The text should probably also emphasize that the Document Foundation
will not recommend nonfree add-ons, as per RMS's quote on
http://www.documentfoundation.org/supporters/

yes, but if no native English speaker starts with a draft of the text, there will be 
no traffic on the new site (and no or only a few extensions / templates) ;-(

Well, it's not much but if it helps to prime the pump:

Libreoffice extensions are tools, which can be added or removed
independently from your installation of the main program. Extensions may
add new functionality to your copy of Libreoffice, or to make existing
functionality easier to use.

Templates offer you a way to avoid duplicating repetitive actions when
creating new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations. They also
offer a way to maintain consistency of document layout and standard
content, and may for example be used to maintain consistent branding
elements when used in a work place.


Best wishes,

Drew
