Drupal Starshot blog: Differentiating Marketplace Site Templates and Community Site Templates
Site templates are available through two distinct pathways, each serving different needs within the community.
The official Drupal.org Marketplace provides a curated collection of site templates that meet certain quality standards, and are built on top of Drupal CMS as a foundation.
Community templates offer an alternative pathway for innovation and experimentation without the constraints of the curation process, by publishing the template as a general project on Drupal.org.

Not bound by the same standards as Marketplace templates
-
Can be built using Drupal CMS or Drupal Core
-
Available to all community members
