[libreoffice-website] LibreOffice Online Templates - Submission process.

Hello LibreOffice Online Template
Support people, 

I am writing this to let you know I am
unhappy with the process of submitting an online template. 

If
I am understanding the whole point of the templates.libreoffice.org/template-center correctly, it 
should be a
place where people can EASILY share and upload their own LibreOffice
templates like budgets, resume designs, and ideas I haven’t even
thought of yet, to share with rest of LibreOffice community. 

This
is an excellent way for people who don’t have money to donate,
don’t know how to program, but they have one great template that
they want share with other LibreOffice users and can feel they are
contributing or giving back to the project. 

Here’s my
problem, the process of submitting a template is so difficult and so
involved and has so many steps, that for a typical home user,
uploading a template is almost impossible. The steps I took to add a template can be found here:

I’m not saying
having all those steps and options aren’t useful, to some; They may
be, but I am suggesting that you should consider adding a template
express button for people who just want to put in the minimal amount
of information on one page and submit a template for review. 

Do
you think the average user knows the difference between a GPL –
GNU, GPL-v3-GNU, BSD, and Other OSI Approved license?  And just
before that you have “Please examine carefully” Really? Our
average users head is spinning at this point from all the other
questions and pages, and the come upon this question that is a
required field that I should “examine carefully” . 

Maybe
you could place a message on the template express button – the
template license will default to public (or something like that).  All new projects will start
with version 1.0.  The release summary will be the same as project
summary.  If there are macros, more questions may have to be asked,
but for a simple template with no macros, an express button to
simplify the process would help out. 

Please consider
simplifying the LibreOffice online template submitting a template
process. 

Thank you, 
Michael
