Hi Kevin, I had attempted a long time ago a similar project for OOo before I became overwhelmed by other commitments and had to drop the topic. One minor issue I met with was finding templates that satisfied the design community while satisfying user expectations. What I mean is, users (according to the design community) often make horrible presentations; however, users expect certain features to be available in their design templates.
<Very slightly off-topic> I think we could use a LibreOffice Impress template that could be very helpful for the community to make LibO presentations. Features could include using the paper tab (the top right of the logo) as bullets at the primary level, the LibO logo perhaps in the top left and then of course some nice and simple design background. (These are just suggestions you can do whatever you like, of course). Its not explicitly related to your topic but it could be really helpful for branding and the like if you have the time.
