Tried out that one. Some comments:
a) There are commercial products there:
https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/business-box#releases
(i.e., without any open source code, so no APLv2 nor GPL licenses: plain
proprietary)
b) The download link seems to be from Apache, as in...
https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/download/3996
...but is then redirected to a proprietary page...

c) A similar website would be good enough for publishing people's
plugins, but I think we can do better with a Swing GUI and some simple
XML files. Of course we should inform the user about third-party plugins
on their own risk, etc.
So, to summarize: if "Apache OpenOffice" can do that (redirect to
proprietary plugins without source code) I imagine that "Apache
NetBeans" can do it also.
The difference being that we are "Apache NetBeans (incubating)", i.e.,
we're not yet an official Apache Project but an Apache Incubator Project.
So maybe we should try harder to become an official Apache Project?

Thanks, mentors!

With the proper caveats and notices, sure. We'd have to build it
ourselves, but we could get a machine for it, if we sought a budget.
We had something like this for the http server (modules.apache.org),
though that was discontinued due to severe spam.

Apologies for not being clear.
Would it be possible for the Apache NetBeans (Incubating) to create a
website similar to https://extensions.openoffice.org?
More specifically, would it be possible o create a website:
1. Where companies and individuals can announce their plugins (released
under any sort of license, even proprietary).
2. That has some sort of "voting" mechanism (requires user log-in stuff,
a database to hold votes).
3. That contains links to executables hosted elsewhere.
Thanks,
Antonio

I'm not sure what you are asking exactly, can you reformulate? Or
start new threads for clarity.
