Hi,
First of all apologies for posting two messages to this list in a couple of 
days but I've just got back into Django after a rather long break, and it is 
taking me a little time to get back in the swing of things.
I'm in the process of making a simple blogging platform which I intend to 
release as an open source project. It is not designed to be a reusable app used 
by other Django. Instead, it is intended to be an all in one blogging solution 
for end users to install and use much like they do with something like 
Wordpress.
There is one major problem though that I don't know the answer. As I am 
building the blogging platform, I am of course writing my templates to make 
sure that everything is working correctly. But a side issue with that is that 
the templates now contain phrases related to the website I intend to create 
when the blogging platform is at a reasonable stage of development.
Now, when I open up the Git repository to the public, and people start using 
they are going to get the templates that I have already created. That will mean 
that they'll either need to go through them all individually (I doubt they will 
have heard of grep or similar tools) or just delete them all and start from 
scratch.
What I would like to see is people release their styles that can then be 
customised based on my model, form, view architecture and then they can do what 
they want with the templates. As long as I document the variables used in the 
templates that shouldn't cause too many problems.
In effect then I have two options. Distribute the code with my already existing 
templates or have a private repository with my templates and a public 
repository with no templates and documentation on how to create the templates 
and either make some styles myself or hope that someone else does.
Ideally, I'd like it to work a little bit like Wordpress where you can install 
a style very easily I'm just not sure how to go about doing that.
How would you go about this problem? I am both trying to make a blogging 
platform for my use while at the same time keeping it reasonably open so other 
people can use it as well. I'm probably missing something obvious here, but I'd 
appreciate some advice before I get too far into the project so any changes 
that need to be made will be smaller.
Thank you.
Simon.
