Just to be safe, it looks like we will have to contact template authors 
to either get their permission to upload their templates on our wiki 
site or have them upload themselves to our wiki site. I have to say, 
this will take time. We also have to come to a definite format for 
posting links to the files, it looks like we will have to post the 
author's name along with the licence and date of creation. Due to the 
many variants of licences, it is just too much of a minefield for us to 
wade through (very much like the screenshots done on Windows boxes). I 
think it is best for us to take the safe approach and get authorship 
permission before uploading.

There is also the problem that, by today's standards, this is obviously 
not a good looking solution. It would be better if there was a solution 
to do this on Silverstripe where authors could submit templates on their 
own. I am not sure if this is available, but IMO, it should really be 
done at site level.

In the meantime, I will start mailing the authors personally.

Additionally, I don't really think that we should be pointing to the OOo 
site for templates. We should be pointing to a site that is not in 
competition with us; this is regardless of how many templates they have. 
Pointing to our template wiki page, should therefore be the place where 
we point to. Nothing wrong with linking to the OOo template page from 
the website along with other LibreOffice compatible template sites.

Cheers

Marc
