you mean the template? In my opinion everybody should build his own. :-)

At my university I have create a beamer template with university
logos/colors etc. oh well, I shared them with other peoples, but the
creation of this template was easy.

At the end with graphics from [0], it was a pretty nice presentation.

... but we not talking about beamer here.

I thought more about a community driven documentation. Maybe we can do
that with a basic template and pengutronix replace the basic template
with the own generate template to generate the pdf.

This sounds like documentation branding, then other companies can also
replace the basic template with her own logos/colors...
Oh this will end in a hell with links to company driven ptxdist support
pages/forums/mailinglists. That's not good, don't know if any
copyright/license helps there that this will not happen then.
