First off, welcome to the forum RamblingSoul. Good to see you here.
As for your question about jquery, we've actually been allowing some jquery on a case-by-case basis in design submissions, but this is also something else to review in updating our design rules and guidelines. Any comments or suggestions on this would be great.

No problem.
Just make sure that your jquery slideshow has documentation or in-code comments so end users can do any required edits.

I have a template with a Jquery menu, very easy to change the text, not so easy to change the number of navigation tabs. Should I submit it?

Some of the Jquery Menus look like a bad idea to me. if the only code is: <span id="menuSelection"> </span>, then it doesn't 'work' on text-based browsers or for spiders, or for those with disabilities (such as the common "my mouse doesn't work" disability).

We have here 2 different issues: javascript and jquery.
I have nothing again using javascript for doing some small eyecandy, like colapsing texts or dropdown menus.
Using jquery, however, is adding a third party product to your template.
Considering a template as a learning experience for newbies, while using some small javascripts will give usefull tips on a language, using jquery is adding a product with its own requirements.
The student will be required not to learn javascript but to learn jquery function names and how to call them. Useless as a learning experience, imho.
Besides, any web developers should be accustomed to reduce javascript to a minimum. And finally, there are many pure CSS techniques that the user will never learn if he gets used to using jquery.
