I have finally found a home for the bookbinding samples I have put together in support of my white paper on Bookbinding.
OTN has a great newish sample code site where you can create code samples to share with the community. In their own words: Welcome to the Oracle Sample Code public repository, where Oracle Technology Network members collaboratively build and share sample applications, code snippets, skins and templates, and more.
Note the word 'templates' I read that as an open invitation to share your latest and greatest!
If you have template samples or code snippets that you think would benefit the wider BIP community please create new code samples and let me know the link and I'll ensure they get promotion through the blog.

You just need an OTN account to get started. Scroll down for the BI Publisher entry.
I'll be pushing some more samples and snippets in the near future, its a great centrally managed repository. Finally, Oracle has somewhere to get code and files hosted.
The two samples I have created cover the book binding function from a couple of angles:
I'd be very interested in any feedback. Happy Binding!
Good post on Book binding.
One comment though concerning the site:
https://www.samplecode.oracle.com/
Just to make aware all those people willing to share code that they would be abiding to the following:

Has this been updated anywhere to reflect the changes incorporated in OBIEE 11g? That would be really helpful especially if there's been significant bookbinding enhancements.

How do I get the page numbers in the pagenum.rtf to appear in the footer so we can put then at the bottom of the bound documents. tried using word to put then in the footer the bookbinder crashes. Tried adding
<?start:body?>
<?end body?>
before the commands to add the page number crashed the bookbinder.
The bookbinder seems very picky about this template file.
