I'm just looking into theme customization now.  The main docs I've
found so far that seem applicable are:

  + 
http://www.dspace.org/1_7_0Documentation/XMLUI%20Configuration%20and%20Customization.html
  + https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Manakin+theme+tutorial

But I'm already confused out of the gate.  They both seem in agreement
that I create/edit my new theme under the [dspace-src] dir, and then
deploy to the install dir.  Is that the correct "best practice".

They say to start by making a copy of the "template" theme found here:

  + 
[dspace-source]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webbapp/src/main/webbapp/themes/template

Which does not exist.  I *do* however have template theme dirs in:

  + 
[dspace-src]/dspace/target/dspace-1.7.0-build.dir/webapps/xmlui/themes/template
  + 
[dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/target/war/work/org.dspace/dspace-xmlui-webapp/themes/template
  + [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/target/xmlui-1.7.0/themes/template

Which is the "correct" location?  (I'm actually going to start with
the Reference theme, but I assume the correct parent location to copy
that one from is the same.)

Also not clear where to actually put my copy and start working on it.
Do I make it a sibling to the others?  On the other hand, the doc
specifically mentions:

  + [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/[my new theme dir]

But there is currently no theme dir in webapp there at all.  The thing
that makes me wonder is that according to the docs, they have you
copying the template to a new theme dir that sits right next to the
other themes.  In this case I'd be copying it to a whole new
apparently previously unused place.

Is there a different "getting started" doc I've missed?

Thanks much!
