Create mechanism for templates

I propose that the front page for templates is kept short, with links to:

  • about the Simile template mechanism;
  • how to work with templates;
  • the template catalogue.

The template catalogue should be a table built up automatically by harvesting information from the template pages (if this is possible), or manual editing (if not).

How to implement a template catalogue using Drupal...

  1. Drupal book -- simple to implement - initial collection done this way - page per template - simple hierrachy of classifications
  2. New content type as with model catalogue entry, so the contibutor adds a template catalogue entry with tags, entries can be listed and searched for by tags
  3. Drupal projects - have mechanisms for sorting, versions (which will be an issue, even if not a big one), in short a lot of functionality, but may be too big.

A new node content type has been created : model_template. Instances should be created  to describe the templates.

A view, template_catalogue, has been created to show the list of model_templates. A header gives a brief explanation of templates. This view could be modified later.
