I had a look at your site and first impression is nice. Our project will probably never use any template, as our stuff and our readers are in a very-not-mainstream niche. Still templates can be one helpful aspect for learning about all the powers of Scribus. If I ever have time, I will contribute a template plus sample database to show the awesome Scribus Generator in action. Now from me one question, one hint and one mild correction: How do you want the attribution for your template CC licence? I do not see that it would make our posters any prettier, if we had to print an attribution "just for the template". Would you accept an attribution and licence info in the meta-data of any exported PDF-document? And what about printed documents? Minimum font-size? ... In books and magazines we are having a dedicated page for "legal matters", but what about one-page stuff or packaging or WhatsApp serial-proverbs... Have a look at all the different things created by Scribus on the "success stories" web-pages and write some practical ideas how the attribution could be correct but not deface the products. Maybe you could offer your contributors the option to tick "public domain" and thereby free the end-user from licence and attribution hassle? I love that at Openclipart.org and at Pixabay.com (both as a user and as a humble contributor). I have been here for several years and I have never seen or heard the core Scribus developers ask for any money. As you are pointing out rightly, there are always costs... So they must have some sweet secret, maybe an oil-well or whatever. Just to give you that context and let you decide how much you want to shout. Lastly, I propose your slogan should be "Let's make Scribus more sexy!" because - as far as any computer tool can be - Scribus is rather hot already!! All the best for your project; I love all the good stuff and the sharing coming to this list.
