+1 to this, though I think we'd want to separate "supported" examples used for testing/validation from contributed templates. Should these contributed templates be limited to using resources provided in the core distribution or can they include optional resource plug-ins (from Stackforge for example)? Personally I think it would be fine as long as the all resources used are publicly available.
