Hi Vikram, I'm attaching the Mallard document I stubbed out to provide templates for different Mallard page types. There's no real content in there. I just want to show one idea of how we can manage templates and provide them in a way that can be easily published on the web. The idea is that templates are provided in the context of a document that can explain how to use them effectively. One danger of templates is that they can encourage people to fill in the blanks without thinking about user needs and effective content. On each of these pages, in addition to showing a template you can copy and paste, we would provide real instructions on when you should use this template and how you should fill out the content. As I mentioned in the meeting, I think it's important that we draw from our real-world experience for templates. We shouldn't prescribe templates from a vacuum. Templates should capture our actual best practices. -- Shaun McCance http://syllogist.net/
