First, congratulations for another useful site.

That's also my concern regarding incoming Kexi scripts, possible to execut as 
autorun... We may need to introduce a process of validation for such 
resources. Even "only trust well known authors" policy is not safe... Maybe 
GPG signing?

Frank, another thing: at least Kexi (but I see other apps too) has more than a 
"template" type of content. For Kexi (which is not document-driven) by 
"template" we mean a database project designed in a way that user can reuse it 
for own purposes, setting additinal (usually global) options. This is 
something other than "example database" type of content. We're also planning 
the "style" content, which can be applied to existing database to change it's 
behaviour or appearance.

Summing up, for now we have additional two content types (categories) useful 
for Kexi. Even while currently only "example database" type is supported by 
Kexi implementation, the problem still exists. I've uploaded one example 
database under "Kexi templates" category -- and that's not very good place.
