Hi,
I have two questions :
* Why not just XWiki.TemplateClass ?
* Why habing a metadata that indicate which template to use ? Shouldn't
the document that hosts a Template(Privder)Class be itself the said
template, and that's it ? (= remove the "template to use" field)
Yes there was those possibilities:
- Adding a XWiki.TemplateClass to the document to offer has a template
and remove it during the copy operation. I didn't chose it because It
would have added one more bound between documents and the core.
- Add a new "isTemplate" meta to XWikiDocument but it has the same
drawback as 1) and it was missing extensibility (restrict the list of
space is the first use case but I'm sure we'll find more).
OK, makes sense not wanting to cleanup the template over copy.
+1 for the proposal

Hi XWikiers,
I've been working on the ability to provide document templates on
document creation lately.
It's documented on
dev.xwiki.org:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DocumentTemplates
Implementation:
- New "create" xwiki action
- Templates: create.vm, createinline.vm (for inline and ajax uses)
- Modification in the xwiki-core-rendering-xwiki core module so that
it gets the correct action (create) for broken links
- New XClass: XWiki.TemplateProviderClass (with associated sheet and
template), this class allow to build the list of template entries to
display in the create document form.
- New administration section: Templates. Allows to list existing
template providers and to create new ones.
I'm almost ready to commit (I only need one more day to write
functional tests) and I'd really like to do it after the 2.4M1
release. WDYT ?
