Hi,
I''m currently considering dropping the support for different website
templates (two choices at this time: default and project) and the
related -t switch for `webgen create` and therefore would like to know:
Does anybody use the website template project?
Rational: I don''t think that many people use it and it is possible to
achieve the same thing via website styles only.
Another rational: The next version of webgen will most certainly
provide a facility for using local or *remote* tar archives (simple
ones or gzipped ones). This will make it possibly to create a tar
archive of a plugin or a style and provide it via ones website and
other uses can use it via a CLI command like:
webgen apply http://my.example.com/webgen/blog-plugins.tgz
And also: if a style can contain plugins or maybe even a whole website,
the word `style` is not approriate anymore, I think. Would it be better
to name this something like `package` then? Suggestions?!
Would appreciate your opinions on this!
