This mouse click opens the form for providing new Extensions. The form
dialog consists of several register. The form fields in the first register
asks for more general information about the project. It's possible to edit
and change the content of the fields later, if the focus or the features
of the project varies.


The First Register 'Default'
****************************

The new extension project needs its own title with a length from 5 to 50
characters. This title has to be unique inside the 'Extension Center'. If
there is already another extension project with the same title the member
will get an error message with the appropriate information. Thus he had to
choose another title for his extension project.

A new project needs also a summary and could get a full description of its
purpose and features. The latter one is optional (only form fields with a
red point behind the title are mandatory).

It's also necessary that the member provides an email-address. This address
will be used to get in contact with the project (owner). The 'Extension
Center' sends e.g. messages if the status of the project changes (e.g. it
was published by a reviewer). Users of the project / extension could
send feedback to the author within a form. The content of this form will
be send by email to the project (owner) (The feedback provider will not see
the email address of the project).

If there is already a homepage of the extension project available on the
internet, it is possible to submit within the correspondending form field.
This homepage will be published inside the project ressources on the right
side of the extension project page. Thus the user of the project / extension
could reach the external project homepage very easily with only one mouse
click.

The Second Register 'Category / Categories'
*******************************************

The extension projects were assigned to one or more categories. The creator
of the extension project could choose on this register one or more
categories, the new extension project matches. The list of categories on
this register had been created by the Plone site administrator within the
'Extension Center'.
