Just a few, select good templates - ooextras was just one example of a source for such templates. Maybe not more than five or so. But *some*. Having seen how mac users and iWork users expect templates, i don't see any reason why Linux users shouln't. It is just a matter of making the user more productive in making contenent and publishing it, without having to waste time and energy on figuring out how to make a nice layout.
