+1 for community involvement

Speaking more generally than just this contest, having the Design Team
give feedback or help to improve templates would be a great idea!

Making it easier for community members to adapt templates (and
extensions) to their own native lang sounds like a positive
contribution. What's the current workflow for localization?

Perhaps we can do more to make sure that work gets re-integrated back
into the original version, or is made available as a derivative.
Keeping a copy of each template in version control could reduce the
barriers to participation. It would make it easier for contributors to
fix typos, track down bugs, or make even bigger changes.
