UNO packages are recommended for deployment of macros, yes. Basically
they could be used for templates and clip-arts also, but to be honest I
never tried it.

Yes.

That's a delicate story. :-)
We tried to advertise our UNO packages several times, but many people
still preferred the document based "deployment".

An explanation for this might be that we lack a documentation for the
"new, potential one-time contributors". The Developers Guide is way to
much for them. This is an important topic for the near future.

IMHO we also need a way to create UNO packages directly from inside the
BasicIDE.

Best regards,
