Hi,
IMO /templates/ folder makes sense when there are multiple skins supported.
Now that Colibri is not the default skin anymore, we should copy all the
templates specific to Colibri in /colibri/ folder.
Flamingo should contain just templates specific to it.
/templates/ should contain templates shared both by Colibri and Flamingo.
When we are going to deprecate Colibri, in the deprecation step we should
copy the whole content of /templates/ and add it in Colibri, than move it
to contrib.
In the close future we might need to have multiple skins depending on the
Flavor. This means we might use the templates folder much more (and Colibri
will be deprecated in the meanwhile) because the new skins will probably
fallback on the Flamingo skin.
This means, when we deprecate Colibri we will need to copy all the
templates from Flamingo and move them to /templates. When new skins appear
we take the specific templates and put them in the desired skin folder
while keeping the common templates in templates/. etc.etc.etc.
This is the way we worked until now with the skins we had: albatross,
toucan, colibri.
Thanks,
Caty

The location of this folder only make sense when it
contains only
generic content. All skins inherit from it and having Flamingo inherit
from a partial Colibri (which is the current situation) does not make
any sense.
Having this folder not containing much is not an issue but having it
filled with what is specific to a skin does not make any sense. Why
bother even having a separated project for the skin in that case ?

Hi.
Since 6.2, we have the following issue:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11027 "The templates directory has
VMs
from Colibri".
Until now, we used to have all *.vm files in this directory, and nothing
in
the "colibri" one, because Colibri was
the default skin.
Now that Flamingo is the default skin, we have to decide what we do with
this directory. Should we move all Flamingo's files in that directory?
Should we only put the files that Colibri & Flamingo have in common? I
have
reported a list of problems that these decisions
make, on the Jira.
Actually, the "templates" directory seems to mean that we should put only
"generic" templates. But what does it mean? Most of the files depends on
the skin, so they are not generic. Except some files for the Distribution
Wizard that should not be skin-dependent.
What do you think about it?
Thanks,
