You can check the opentemplates.org site where we are working to build
a repository of OpenDocument templates as well as cliparts. We can get
to build a client as an extension so people can import the resources
using REST WebService.

The OOo (OpenOffice.org) mailing lists constantly receive posts about
the large size of the file users have to download. Including all the
possible "extras" (eg. templates, clipart, etc.) that users "might"
want, would at least double the size of the download. Microsoft's
equivalent program is supplied on recorded media, so MS throwing in a
few extra "goodies" costs the buyer nothing more than the hundreds of
(Dollars, Pounds, Euros) they have already paid. OOo (OpenOffice.org)
adopts a different policy, in that the user can download the base
software for free and add whatever "extras" they choose.
So should we discuss bundling a set of stuff and have a second obvious
download button on the download page? "Templates, Graphics and Extras"
as a seperate download zip and let the user decide. Is it worth
suggesting to the project that run the website?
