I agree with this - in the long run a LibreOffice template repository might be, IMO would be, nice - but in the short term a formal page on the libreoffice sites(s) that listed a couple of locations would actually go far to show the advantage of ODF. Of course having an official URL for templates gives some options for doing neat things right in the application - even if those neat things might be best added via an extension - one branded for LibreOffice and not OpenOffice.org from the start. [could always offer to let that team re-brand one then] An Extensions repository BTW, should IMO, be quite different and I would be all for going the opposite direction, meaning the emphasis on day one is to have a separate official URL for the repository. I am of two minds when it comes to third party add-on repositories, whether I would promote such a thing or not, I don't think I would. But as I say, I see templates differently. just my 2 bits drew -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
