We are currently working on a new set of templates codenamed "Lava", which will likely be an alternative to Aura in later builds. We'd also like to see these templates ship with a variety of syle sheet objects to provide simple variation that way.
If people want to help I think we could start by improving the Aura templates by ensuring there are no missing templates, it ships with a more sophisticated navigation system, and is generally tidied up.
Once we have a couple of different template options, building that as a deployment choice into the installer would be easy.

Farcy install "Site Template" option.
What would people think about placing the farcry_aura folder in a subfolder called "install_templates" (or something)? When installing a site you'd have an additional dropdown option that dynamically populates a list of all the folders in there (like farcry_aura). More likely it would grab the name and version of the site template from a config file for each site template.
This would allow developers to place as many install templates they'd like to have in there. I'd suggest having a config file that sets up the defaults for each template (like what nodes/dmHTML/content/etc to have created by default - like Aura does). The code would likely represent something like Quick Site builder so it would be easy to make the config file for develpers (hopefully eliminating cross-DB issues).
Then Daemon could offer a couple basic templates with Farcry (like Aura) and best of all Farcy developers could offer their site templates on the soon to be released "Farcry Developers Exchange" (With screenshots hopefully).
Would people be interested in this feature? Would Daemon mind if I started working on something like this? (I have no gripe if someone else wanted to tackle it either... less work for me :)
