OpenOffice.org Extensions
OpenOffice.org extensions are a quick way to add functionality. Writable in a variety of languages, including Java, JavaScript, OpenOffice.org Basic, Python, and C++, they allow developers to contribute features without having to master much of OpenOffice.org's notoriously cryptic source code. For users, they provide quick fixes for commonly requested features.
For some reason, OpenOffice.org extensions have yet to capture developers' imaginations the way that Firefox extensions have. For every OpenOffice.org extension, there must be 20 or 30 for Firefox. Still, the few that exist are worth a look. In several cases, they provide small bits of functionality that users often request on the project's mail forums. Others fulfill specialized needs that OpenOffice.org hasn't addressed yet.
Those who wish to write extensions can find the information to get them started on the OpenOffice.org wiki. For those who are mainly consumers of developer's efforts, what follows is a description of how to use extensions, and a sampling of what's available.
