Hi devs,    On http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra… we list some app dev best practices. I'm proposing to add one more bullet point which is to add a template provider. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for end users to add new items for the concerned app.    For example, the blog app would have a Blog Template to create new blog post directly from the Add menu, the FAQ app would add a FAQ Template to do the same for the FAQ app, etc.    WDYT?    Thanks  -Vincent      _______________________________________________  devs mailing list  devs(a)xwiki.org  http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs 

Currently we can specify a list of spaces where the template is available. So you can put FAQ or Blog, but you have to go to those spaces to be able to have the template provider listed when you create a new page. So you won't be able to create a blog post from the Main space. I'm not sure if there are real use cases for this, but being able to fix the space where the page is created as Vincent suggested is better.
