interesting concept but no content.

I've read it more carefully and until the end, this time. I must say
that it's a pity to see how our work (documentation project and NLC
projects) is not respected :(
The Wiki page authors named some OOo projects to be "nearly dead or not
worldwide known" - and then they suggested yet another Web location for
templates.
I would suggest a central Web location - not necessarily another one.
In my opinion, there is only one prominent place to add a link to *all*
the existing places that offer templates and samples and macros and more
- that is the OOo user interface itself.
I don't have a problem linking to other places where one can get more
templates and clipart. But all "approved" templates should be stored in
that central repository.
My idea would be to link to this place from the OOo user interface and
list *there* all the other places. They may vary from time to time and I
don't want to have a user interface with dead links...
For example, the "Templates and Documents" dialog must show a link to a
central Web page, which may be a Wiki page, so that everyone can easily
add their own place to download templates there.
Clicking the link in the OOo dialog will start one of the following
actions:
1. open the default Web browser with the above mentioned main Wiki page.
2. open another OOo dialog which gets its data from the Web. It shows
all templates, for example, that have been approved by the community in
some way, and then a click on a template will download, and install, and
open it.
In my eyes we should differentiate between "approved" templates and
additional ones.
My opinion of such an UI dialog would be point 2. with an additional
link to our central web page. If the user doesn't find her template (or
clipart, as this might be similar) in the presented repertory, she might
be open that web page in her browser and get additional ones as well as
full extension packages with sets of templates.
This page might contain the link to the wiki page stating clearly that
OOo doesn't fell responsible for the quality of templates linked there
and the content of these web pages at all (as everybody will be able to
add there any link!).
Best regards
Bernhard
