Hi, My +1 goes to 1) since I think the templates feature was mostly designed for pages, rather then spaces. Currently we support space templates, but theoretically all they do is set the space.WebHome to have a certain template.
Now, we are lacking a bit usage statistics on space-templates and page-templates. How often are they used? Could we display them together? Is it necessary to have a separation between them when we enumerate them?
