In addition to the built-in project templates, VS 2010 also
support the ability when inside the “New Project” and “Add Item” dialogs to
search an online gallery of additional templates to use. You can
contribute your own templates to the gallery, rate and review submissions of
others, and search and filter them by project type, keyword and community
rating. You can then easily download and install any template locally
directly within the dialog:

This will hopefully facilitate the creation of lots of
useful project starter kits (of all types of projects – not just web) that
people can easily discover and use to quickly get going when building
solutions.
Hope this helps,
