I have categorized the templates area. As far as available templates, 
after examining the various templates and the plethora of licences under 
which they are published, it looks a little too much like the 
screenshots debacle.

My advice, at the moment, is not to populate this section until we get a 
firm grip on the process we should adopt for posting. The posted file 
will have to show more information than that of just the template 
author. We will have to show the licence as well and possibly the date 
of template creation, and possibly more information. Certainly, the wiki 
page is not one of the best methods for this.

IMO, we would be better served if template authors were contacted 
directly and asked if they would like to contribute to the LibreOffice 
templates section. This may in fact save us from a lot of possible 
stress in the future. This would of course cause a bit of delay in 
populating the templates section, but worth the wait.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Marc
