I'll reiterate it "all the folders shown in the dialog box displayed by the
New From Template menu item. But as you don't seem to understand that here
is ls -l word on the subject for the user known as trevor.

On the WIki or on the emptyness of the above folders?

For the Wiki I'll have a password please. The English there isn't truly
English; Franglais, Swedlish, Germlist maybe but not English. And definitely
not English that a new user is going to follow.

And of yes, the old "we're an open source project" so when we cock something
up don't comment upon us paradigm.

Regards, Trevor.
