  == New Publication Wizard / Publication templating ==
  
- I'm trying to set up two publications that follow a common corporate design. 
The idea is to use 
[http://lenya.apache.org/1_4/reference/publication-templating/index.html 
publication templating], so that changes to the design will automatically be 
propagated to the derived publications. This does not work very well for me atm 
- I need to understand which settings and files are hard-copied once during 
creation and which are referenced.

- * access control: <newpub>/config/ac/ac.xconf uses 
"context:///lenya/pubs/default/config/ac/passwd" etc. *But*: it always uses the 
default publication, not the actual template that is used. Bug or feature?

- The contents of the passwd/ and policy/ dirs are copied into <newpub>, 
probably also from the default publication. Why? Either the whole mechanism 
falls back to the default publication (including all users/groups/hosts etc.), 
or it is independent. Can anyone explain?
+  ''Bug or feature? Should this also use "fallback:///"?''

+ 
+ * publication.xml is copied from the template, and the publication name is 
changed.
+ 
+ * content/*/* is copied from the template without changes.
+ 
+ * When creating a new xhtml page, I see the standard "Default Publication - 
Welcome to the default Lenya publication! The purpose of this publication 
is..." page. 
+   ''How can I edit this? It should be an example page from the publication 
template.''
+ 
+ * When I create a "links" type page, I see the standard "links" example page. 
+   ''Again, how do I edit this? I want it to show an example page for the 
proper resource type from the template.''
+ 
+ * As mentioned in 
[http://lenya.apache.org/1_4/reference/publication-templating/index.html], 
templates are defined in <newpub>/config/publication.xconf. 
+   ''I want to be able to add new resource types to the *template* that will 
automatically be available in all derived publications. possible? IIUC, as it 
is now I have to add a new fallback entry to each derived publication's config 
file by hand, which is not so nice.''
+   ''Is there a way to say "take all configuration options from the template 
except those which are explicitly overwritten in the publication's .xconf"? 
This would be a lot saner IMHO.''
