interesting concept but no content.

I've read it more carefully and until the end, this time. I must say that it's a pity to see how our work (documentation project and NLC projects) is not respected :(

The Wiki page authors named some OOo projects to be "nearly dead or not worldwide known" - and then they suggested yet another Web location for templates. 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.
Clicking the link in the OOo dialog will start one of the following actions:
1. open the default Web browser with the above mentioned main Wiki page.
2. open another OOo dialog which gets its data from the Web. It shows all templates, for example, that have been approved by the community in some way, and then a click on a template will download, and install, and open it.
