In case we don't like a particular Template, then the best strategy is to
have individual votes for them.
@Anca, from your feedback is hard to know if you prefer Article over
Encyclopedia.
Since we need to release 8.2 final at the end of the week I would like to
advance with this topic: either by committing all the proposed templates or
just a subset, but I need more opinions.
Status:
1. Article (Article page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty
2. Encyclopedia (Encyclopedia page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty
3. Meeting Report (Agenda and notes): 1+ Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca
4. Simple Page (With table of content): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca
Thanks,
Caty

helpful to add more content templates by default.
Content Templates are templates that don't belong to a particular
application, but provides an initial content structure. The templates
will
be suggested in the creation step.
Here are some templates we could add by default:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/TemplatesDefault#HProposal
1. Article
2. Encyclopedia
I think these two are the same one, they should be collapsed into only
one
template. I don't really understand the
differences between these two.
The differences are in layout.
In my opinion this is not enough to have both of them. For me, the goal of
the templates by default is to help discover the template feature and its
benefits to users, and the way to do that would be to show interesting
usecases of the template feature. Having two templates for the same usecase
but with different layout is not aligned with this goal, but would be more
aligned with the goal of showing that we can do different fancy layouts. In
addition, this logic would allow to have multiple templates for the other
usecases as well, with different layout, which would not be a good idea
(e.g. another meeting report, with a different layout) because would bloat
the list...
Anyone else?
Thanks,
Anca
3. Meeting
Should be called Meeting Report (or meeting notes), so that the
difference
with the meeting extension is more obvious.
I will use "Meeting Report"
4. Simple Page
Should have the word Table of Contents in the name, so that its purpose
is
obvious from the start (otherwise "simple
page" and the default "blank
page" are not very easy to differentiate ).
The difference is viewed in the Description, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/TemplatesDefault/WebHom…
Thanks,
Caty
Another template could be added, "Index
page", with a simple livetable
listing all the children (and descendants) pages of the current page.
It's
handy when creating the root page of a subtree on
the wiki (would have
the
> same purpose as "Dashboard", to be a scripted homepage from where the
