it'd be great to have this bundled into one simple location.
one thing to watch out though (IMHO, as a new participant on the
list), is avoid making the template management overly complicated.
I've used Mephisto for a quite a while... it has a themes system built
on top of the Liquid templating engine. all very nice, only nobody is
really creating themes for Mephisto after the first ones made a coule
of years back, and the people editing templates are at least good
enough developers to not need the protection Liquid provides - and to
find extending the built-in tags and filters a royal hassle since
there's nobody really needing them (on top of being a PITA to debug).
I find myself wanting to tear-off the templating system everytime I
try to customize the front-end... plain-old erb templates with
action-view helpers would be way better. Developers would have an
easier time to customize it, and designers or htmlers would just deal
with simple and familiar variables + loops - instead of learning
liquid syntax.
