Cool download numbers for our OpenOffice.org API plug-in for NetBeans

Our OpenOffice.org API plugin for NetBeans is now available since ~4 weeks in the official NetBeans Update Center. Until today the statistic counts 10543 downloads. 10543 - a really awesome number, isn't it. The cool thing is that when i think about this number and 5% would really implement an extension, we would get ~500 extensions for OpenOffice.org.

Well, i don't really expect this number of extensions but all of you who have download the plugin, please try it out. Play with it, give us feedback and help us to improve it. Let us know what else you would expect or you would like to see in the plugin. We think better tool support is important and can help to lower the barrier for developers to get started. Extensions are always a good start point . You can work on your own feature and you become this way more and more familiar with the OpenOffice.org API. If you like it and if you want to do more you can join one of our projects and can help to work on the core. Of course C++ support in our plugin is planned as well and it will help to bring you a little bit closer to OpenOffice.org core development because you probably know that OpenOffice.org is implemented in C++.

Anyway i am looking forward to hear from you and i hope to see some cool extensions in the near future.
