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.
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.
Remember that, because of internal security policy, all users can't
connect to the Internet from their PC at work. Therefore a visible
link on the web pages is a requirement. The user could then go to the
internet-enabled PC and download the files she'd install on her own
workstation.
you mean that some firewalls do not allow OOo to connect to the Internet
and to download some files from there?
OOo should be allowed to connect to the Internet, because it now has the
new "Check for updates" feature, soon it will have the same feature for
installed and new to be installed extensions, and more connectivity may
come in the future.
Yes but in most of the large companies and administrations, user are not
allowed to be connected to Internet. As they don't manage the suite
update (for most of the French administrations, an office need to be
validated first, and that could take one year, so for some of them they
are still stuck with OOo 2.0.2 and won't update before a certain time).
So all the features that allow to grab things from Internet will be
disabled by the sys admin before deploying for the users.
The online update and the features attached to it is (from my
experience) mostly directed toward SOHO users.
On the other hand, if a sys admin doesn't want to give Internet access
to OOo, all that is lost is the ability to find some additional info and
files in a comfortable way.
Yes, you're right, but unfortunately it is how it works currently.
Kind regards
