Were I to cleanup either the template or extension site, I'd eliminate
at least two thirds of them.

Is there an obligation on the part of anybody, to explain why templates,
and extensions are not accessible?
>And that 2 month after Martin asked on this list
DuckDuckGo implies that the first time I answered a question about that
specific template was in October 2016. My impression is that it was
much earlier than that.

Yes, but for the whole users it doesn't help and it declares not why
\u201cAccess denied\u201d for ALL templates. And that 2 month after Martin asked
on this list \u2026

I was thinking of review, in terms of writing a review of the template,
the same way that one writes a review of a film, or a book.
However, a review of a submitted template, to ensure that it meets
specific criteria, would be more useful.
Even little things, like it being in an ODF file format, would be a good
starting point. (Do you want to explain why a file format used by Lotus
Approach is offered as an AOo template?)

In as much as at least 10% of the templates never functioned correctly
with AOo in the first place, expecting them to be kept up to date,
appears to be placing an expectation upon the authors that they are
utterly unable to meet.

No, because it is unrealistic to want to control 15,000 templates.
Similarly, I do not think it is a normal way, because the originals should be checked and kept up-to-date by their authors.
The discussion also points in the wrong direction, because there are _technical_ problems with the templates website. These problems must be eliminated and not the templates themselves should be checked.
(OK, even the templates themselves have to be checked, but this is a permanent process and this should be done by the authors of the templates.)

Regardless, what would be useful, would be a review of each of those
templates.
>On the site are more than 15,000 templates (2 seconds per template for

Assuming I know how to use the template, it takes me ten minutes to
download and test a single template.
If I don't know how to use a template, then testing can take far longer.
> Ok, I can give 5 examples of downloadable templates:
IOW, all the templates that are displayed on the template page, when one
first lands there.
My guess is that of the templates, roughly:
* 1% are on "Access Denied", pages;
* 5% have no downloadable content;
* 20% are not what they purport to be;
* 2% are in desperate need of additional documentation on how to
correctly use them;

They can be, but getting there is extremely tricky.
I quit doing so, because I usually ended up with the wrong template.

I do not understand why the templates can not be accessed directly at Sourceforge (see tab "Files" on page https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-templates/) but always a redirect to http://templates.services.openoffice.org/.
If the templates were accessible via the "Files" tab, the templates would be easier to check.

IMHO Matthias Röllig just volunteered to start fixing the page. Maybe Sarah
Kragness and Martin Groenescheij would also step up if they were asked if
they help and we promise some help them to get up and running.
I honestly think the more upset people complain, the more we should take it
as a expression to volunteer to improve the situation. Even if they only
fix 10 templates it is 10 templates fixed.
Just my 2 cents.

This is meant as a joke? On the site are more than 15,000 templates (2 seconds per template for testing require more than 8 hours).
Ok, I can give 5 examples of downloadable templates:
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/business-letter-1
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/business-letter-2
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/business-trip-budget

Is there a copyright or licensing issue for some templates?
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/cd-jewel-case-front-insert-template-2
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/cbrainpower-13-creativ-learning-made
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/dvd-case-insert-template-a4-14mm-dvd
[\u2026]
What's about empty entries?
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/gold-frame
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/invoice-1-1
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/template/yamb-game-form-1
[\u2026]
Is anybody working on this site?
By the way: It looks good!
But what good is it if there is nothing to download?
