Ok, I followed the tutorial for creating an FAQ. I
setup the class, the
template and the sheet as directed. I added properties to the template - but
these do not show up when I create a new document, any ideas?

Thanks Guillaume, I will give the FAQ tutorial a
try today and see how
that goes. Thanks again for your help. XWiki is looking
better all the
time!

have to look into the Skin configuration. If you are talking about creating
new pages that are supposed to follow a predefined template (such as a blog
article template that would typically include the article's title,
publication date, author name and so on) then you can definitely do it and
create as many page templates as you want to using XWiki.

would be easier if I had a better descrpition of what you have in mind.
