Updates to the SharePoint Template Project

Thanks for the great response from everyone on my SharePoint Template Project. I think it's going to be a great resource and I've already got a few people with things in the pipe already that are coming down for submission. I've made three adjustments to the project since starting it up based on some comments and email from a few people (thanks Maurice!).

First, the installer will use the Microsoft Installer XML (WiX) which is a project that builds installation packages from XML source code. I thought it only fitting to use another SourceForge project that Microsoft endorses to deliver the templates. Second is the change of license. I originally selected the GNU Public License (GPL) as the majority of projects are released under this but some people mentioned concerns about derivative work so I switched the project to use the Common Public License which is easier to understand, more flexible and better protects the submitters and their content. Third is not really a change but something I had totally forgotten about which was supporting languages other than English. I'm always stuck in English land with things but was reminded about the other 90% of the planet and the frustration of not having templates availalble in their native language available. So that'll be included in the new web site that's being setup for the project and part of the installer. Once a template is submitted they'll be the opportunity if someone can translate it for their native language and we'll just update the release of that template to include it. Hopefully we'll have a nice collection of templates in all major languages available for everyone as a result.

Again thanks to everyone who responded positively on the project and looking forward to working with you all on creating this much needed community resource!
