> All you need to "create a repository" is drive space on the web. a) I've got some templates, colour palettes, and a dictionary or two for OOo out there somewhere on the web. The issue I found with free sites, is that the content doesn't always stay there. The issue with both gratis and paid sites, is promoting the goodies. b) Whilst an individual can create their own repository, once there are twenty or so personal repositories, nobody is going to know where to find anything, unless somebody spends one or two weeks a month, working 40 hour weeks, doing nothing but locating what is available that week from which site. c) Ideally, there would be a place where people could upload their LibO content, where it could be vetted for copyright and other legal stuff, prior to being made available for public distribution. Not just templates, but extensions, colour palettes, dictionaries, clipart, and whatever other goodies people throw onto LibO. OK, clipart probably should be sent to open-clipart.org. [Now trying to remember the legal issue that led to the templates I created not being distributable from http://templates.services.openoffice.org/ ] jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzR+RwACgkQaC1raifmCuFpHgCgnaGJApEplyDm5h6H0wwR19c+ WfQAniWxx0L58822tLrIYl4SH3xLxRX3 =Nba4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
