We discussed about that with JV (in fact it was jv's idea), because an application can be contained in a space, and templating a space can be also a way to install an app (i do not know if i reflect well his idea), or have predefined space templates for specific uses (project, documents, etc.) Related to that, there was this idea to have space categories or type (a space type manager), that allows to see what kind of space it is (based on an icon ?), managing the display, etc. This would be very powerfull on the user side
