That sounds like a really good idea. The idea of being able to share
some functional templates with other farcry users appeals to me. I
think this would go a long way to helping newbees get going with
farcry- because at the moment it's a fair learning curve. Being able
to share examples of navigations, TOC rules, importCSS etc etc would,
IMHO, get users off to a running start with Farcry.
