Templates online features
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
This site explains in short planned features for organizing and accessing templates online.
In a first step on the way to an OpenOffice.org 3.0 release a template web site will be created, where template can be uploaded and downloaded. A link from the current 'Templates and Documents'-dialog in OpenOffice.org will point to that planned template web site.
In a future release these features will be offered from within the Office via a redesigned / new “Templates and Documents”-dialog so that the user can interact with the web site content online directly from within the user interface.
