Hi Mark,
Well, the Gadgets extension will have its own distribution system, as part
of the 2nd version of ResourceLoader:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Version_2_Design_Specification…
As for distributing templates, it depends on what you mean by "something
like this". You can of course just create a page on
mediawiki.org,
containing links to templates and/or XML files that people have created. If
you want a setup with forms like
smw.referata.com has, you would need to
either have Semantic MediaWiki added to
mediawiki.org (which I think would
be a great idea, by the way); or set up a new SMW-based wiki for this kind
of thing; or use an existing SMW-using wiki - though I can't think of one
that would exactly fit the bill.

This is awesome. I would like to see something like this take off. I
wonder if we could use it for distributing templates and gadgets from
Commons and enwiki?
I know that a sometimes people who are comfortable with Wikipedia and
want to set up their own wiki are surprised when they find that the
templates are not part of the default MediaWiki installation.
What do you think?
