I had a play with Project Template, and incorporating it into a novice R lesson on projects <http://resbaz.github.io/novice-r/02-project-intro.html>. I ultimately ended up stripped it out because it was unnecessarily complicated and tried to automate too much for a novice lesson. Instead, I am using it as a guide for populating new projects with useful subdirectories.
