Hello all, I and others would like to discuss openly the topic of templates and extensions. See this thread: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=7018
So in order to lauch our discussion and based on the aforementioned thread, here's a very short summary of the context: - templates are very important to OOo, and to any office suite - although most of the templates are located at the documentation project (http://documentation.openoffice.org), some others are spread though the net, and perhaps it would be better to have one place for them - a spec was written on the wiki, but it was also mentionning a new templates repository and that was contentious: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Feature_-_Templates -the need of generating income in order to make the OOo project sustainable has been clearly articulated, particularly by the Sun OOo team. Hence the idea to design a Marketplace where people could purchase extensions and templates. -of course, the need to have free content (templates and extensions) free as in beer and as in speech does exist and should be properly addressed. -more generally there is a necessary involvement of the community in these questions, so this thread is meant for that. - last but not least: should we differentiate between templates, extensions, free templates, free extensions and commercial content, etc.. We need to come up with an idea that would help us adressing the points quoted above.
