I have since found Nikash's SVG and had started to make some
adjustments for incorporating my changes into it, but in the original
mail I said, I wouldn't change my logo proposal any more ... let's see
how this pans out.

I had somewhat feared that the symbolism of a template as an "outline"
for your document might not be so apparent. So, for lack of a better
symbol, I used those slash-dotted lines also used in construction. I
had no better idea. If there's something more obvious, especially
something that incorporates the triangles, please let me/us know.

That's a bug, and if I change the logo again, it will be based on
Nik's, and incorporate the rounded triangles. See above.

I know this is a question to Andreas, but I will give an opinion here
and say: yes. It would be more work, as it would be two pages that
essentially serve the same purpose. It would be harder for users, too,
as they would only discover one of the pages at a time. Also, if we
don't do the two pages right, you'd have to register twice if you want
to write reviews on both.

Another opinion: that web address should be there and should redirect
to the templates section.
