Hello Sophie,

Yes and if you read the announcement or the discussions on the lists,
you have noticed that it's a contest for en_US templates only.

The "risk" being that those templates come to non-en_US users.

That would be their choice.
I don't understand what's so country-specific in a template. AFAIK MS
Office does not ship different templates in the US and in Europe. Cannot
templates be made mostly country-neutral if contributors are asked to
avoid adding too nationally-rooted details?

Of course text must be translated (if present), but this can be done
like GUI labels.

If the contest is only for en_US, then most locales won't get any
templates at all, which is worse than getting an English template. So
better start with the idea that templates will have to be translated.


Regards

well they are under a open source license, so anybody is invited to do
the work or enhance what already exists.

This is a very tough question, yes.

Second, templates *need* to be documented either with included text or a
secondary user manual (I think this should be request, opposite to the
current contest asking for *no text*)

so are you volunteering to write that manual and document the templates
or are you only ranting on those who are currently trying and are doing
something?
Kind regards
Sophie
