I think the general battle (concept) of converting folks from MS to OO is good, but I think the real battle is between Word and Writer. I mention this because there are 3 major fronts to attack MS and I think the Word front is ignored a little too much in general and might be more important for converting folks to OO. The third front is "templates"
This is true, and talking about templates we have really need to step up and solve this issue on a faster way. Instead of building repositories of templates we should actually build the pipeline to be able to install this templates.
If you have programmers availables we would gladly welcome them and the idea is simple. Build autopilots similar to the one that install dictionaries, and tweak the code to to the same with Templates. Most of the code is already done, we only need a way to xml the layout since we need to build for many templates as opposed to just a few tents of dictionaries.
The next step is build the repository and make it open similar to the OpenClipArt.org proyect. Having both of this development sources we will be able to easily spread out OOo Templates.
