One of the things i LOVE about open source software is the ability for me to
ask someone else to code something or port something that i cant do myself.
 So my solution to your problem of incompatible extensions is to set up a
new mailing list for OO to LO extension porting.  the public can send the
extension which the people on the mailing list can then port over.

Unless there is a "compatibility tag" for extensions, the way that
there
is for firefox, LibO is stuck with the version numbering that OOo uses,
if it wants to retain compatibility with those extensions.

Well, I appreciate that it would mean two sets of numbers for extensions,
but I can imagine that, in a not too distant future, OOo and LibO are
going
to grow apart, possibly sufficiently that an extension for the one will
not work with the other.  Why not accept that from day 1?

I'm willing to accept that extensions wont work in future if OO and LO grow
apart, but I think this shouldn't be done artificially by changing the
version number. It could be bad for OO users that want to use LO, but miss
some extensions because they are no longer compatible because the version
number of LO differs.

Whenever there is a release with a changes for version 4.x.x I accept
incompatibilities.

not to you James:
Most people don't take version numbers serious anymore. Look at Chrome for
example. The rapid change of major versions is ridiculous.

LO is not build from scratch, so for me it can stick to 3.x.x and move
onward.
