"Google Docs Boasts 450 New Fonts and 60 New Templates"
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57426699-93/google-docs-boasts-450-new-fonts-and-60-new-templates/
Is there any easy way to tell how many templates we have in our
template repository? It might make sense to mention the templates and
extensions repositories in our AOO 3.4 announcement, since that is a
statement on the scope of the larger ecosystem. Someone who
contributes a template or writes an extension is a contributor to the
overall OpenOffice effort.

Of course we won't post before the announcement, that is why I shared
a draft timeline here. So said, I believe we better go out with some
material before others do, since by sharing the news in a positive way
we have a chance to influence others to report it in a nice way.
Consider also that our upcoming blog posts have been written by Rich
Bowen, who is an official press outlet for the ASF at feathercast.org
and is planning on running these videos there too.

We plan to do at least two videos, and the interviews to Extensions'
and Templates' creators are part of the 'old' plan to help the
project.
About mixing, we have already interviewed Jurgen and we plan to do
more, so who ever is open and willing is more than welcome.

Yea, I'll keep this stuff here, until we believe there is enough
momentum to move it to ooo-marketing.

Another +1 on the ideas, the video particularly, here - and with the
idea of staggering the publishing of these blogs and videos.
@Roberto - the idea of a short video interview with extension
developers, is this something you are considering on any kind of
recurring basis? I quite like the idea, and maybe even mix in one of the
core devs, should, or when, the opportunity presents itself. Anyway,
it's easy for me to 'say'.. I know they take work.

I'd agree with that also.

I like your idea... but lets agree to allow the announcement post to stay
'on the top' for a couple of days at least; i.e. through Friday of next
week, May 11. So you may want to target posting the week of May 14. Bear
in mind that Juergen is planning to post one wearing his Release Manager
hat, and going into more details on the release itself than we have done
with the original announcement content.

Numbers, here we go:
- 864 Extensions, total 2856 releases
- 2340 Templates in 18 languages:
25 da
313 de
57 el
1115 en
87 es
142 fr
2 he
14 hu
100 it
133 ja
46 nl
82 pl

129 ru
9 sl

3 zh-hans
10 zh-hant
Let me add that next week we plan to go out with a blog entry about
Extensions and Templates, containing some stats and an interview to
one of the authors. If you wish we can coordinate the timing. My idea
was to publish this a couple of days after the AOO 3.4 PR. For that
day we are working on a short video showing some of the top features
of the new release.
Maybe I better move this discussion on ooo-marketing?
