Hi Mark, Well, the Gadgets extension will have its own distribution system, as part of the 2nd version of ResourceLoader:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Version_2_Design_Specification#Gadget_Manager As for distributing templates, it depends on what you mean by "something like this". You can of course just create a page on mediawiki.org, containing links to templates and/or XML files that people have created. If you want a setup with forms like smw.referata.com has, you would need to either have Semantic MediaWiki added to mediawiki.org (which I think would be a great idea, by the way); or set up a new SMW-based wiki for this kind of thing; or use an existing SMW-using wiki - though I can't think of one that would exactly fit the bill. -Yaron On Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 8:12 PM, Mark A.
