Just to be safe, it looks like we will have to contact template
authors to either get their permission to upload their templates on
our wiki site or have them upload themselves to our wiki site. I have
to say, this will take time. We also have to come to a definite format
for posting links to the files, it looks like we will have to post the
author's name along with the licence and date of creation. Due to the
many variants of licences, it is just too much of a minefield for us
to wade through (very much like the screenshots done on Windows
boxes). I think it is best for us to take the safe approach and get
authorship permission before uploading.
There is also the problem that, by today's standards, this is
obviously not a good looking solution. It would be better if there was
a solution to do this on Silverstripe where authors could submit
templates on their own. I am not sure if this is available, but IMO,
it should really be done at site level.
In the meantime, I will start mailing the authors personally.
Additionally, I don't really think that we should be pointing to the
OOo site for templates. We should be pointing to a site that is not in
competition with us; this is regardless of how many templates they
have. Pointing to our template wiki page, should therefore be the
place where we point to. Nothing wrong with linking to the OOo
template page from the website along with other LibreOffice compatible
template sites.
May be a solution would be to link to OpenTemplate.org site in the
meantime. When the webiste team has decided how to correctly handle
that, you'll change the link. May be it's not needed to rush and show
something not finalized and not yet very useful.
Kind regards
Sophie
