I found this in a link on the bash page I just mentioned. If there's a
wannabe developer/packager here with an interest in office software,
collating templates etc, maybe finding them a home, checking licences
and packaging them for use with OOo is something you might consider.
"Stubbornly, OpenOffice.org continues to ship with only a handful of
templates. Despite the efforts of several sub-projects and individuals
to change the situation, the standard OpenOffice.org download includes
only a couple of slide show presentations and a few templates to
accompany the wizards available in the file menu. This lack of templates
is a serious handicap for many users, and often leaves a poor impression
on new users who are accustomed to the selection of templates found in
other office suites."

Something to bear in mind is that while some like "Letter" size paper, a
lot of people don't have it (and a lot of printers insist on user's
confirming their intent when asked to print a "Letter" document on "A4"
paper).
If someone here has a good contact in Sun, you might point out how silly
this licence looks when applied to free software:
