When you uploaded it with the version 0.0.1 which is checked by default after
the first upload then it doesn't get displayed on the "New extensions" page on
typo3.org.

But you will surely find it using the Search Extension box.

AFAIK it also takes some time till it shows up in TER.

Just put the OO manual inside the doc/ directory of the extension and name it "manual.sxw"

Here you have the manual-template:
http://typo3.org/typo3temp/manual-doc_template-11-12-2002_13-44-29.sxw

Donwload it and change it ... but don't forget to change "File > Properties" in OO when
you have opened the file.
