The publisher information consists of a name and a URL. The name should be a company name and the URL should point to a website of that company. This information is currently used in two places, the Extension Manager dialog (since OpenOffice.org 3.0) and the update dialog for extensions (since OpenOffice.org 2.4).

The publisher information is specified in the description.xml of an extension. The extension repository will use the information in the update information. That is, if someone checks for extension updates, than the update dialog will show this publisher information for this extension.
