there is a Issue Report about adding more templates to Open Office 2.XX.
Again something thats lingering from ancient times.
I wonder how the Process is for such a thing.

There is a technical trade-off between making more templates available in the download and not making the download size too big; and there is to consider that we want to pack only rather generic templates; the Templates websites exists for people to be able to find and download specific templates. So the process would probably involve some discussion on this list to make sure we don't add many MBytes to the installer and that what we add is useful to many users.

There is also an issue about licenses: embedded templates must be contributed under ALv2; this is automatic is people contribute their own work as a Bugzilla attachment.

Is such a template packaging something we would handle through Bugzilla?

It would affect the source code, so yes, it should be handed on Bugzilla. But at times the discussion might happen here, to find a generic guideline before wasting work.

And by the way the templates we ship at the moment are not so nice, so more templates will surely be welcome.

  Andrea.
