I think that would be awesome. It would be nice to set up a site 
template with all the extensions I use on a  regular basis.

   2. anyone is already working on it... I'm rather busy on other fronts
   these days, so if someone is already thinking about it, I'd rather
   collaborate than start from scratch.
  
Likewise, I have little time to breathe, let alone start another 
project. But if it was started, I would certainly do what I can to help 
further it along.

Adam,

I've used Rails templates to bootstrap some apps, and it's really just a 
hook into the existing Rails generators, plus some extra tools.


That said, some kind of template distribution mechanism would be 
awesome.  When it's ready, we can integrate it into the instance 
generator.  PDI

Now that Radiant is on Rail 2.3, has anyone investigated (or planning to
investigate) using application templates to simplify things?

For example, its often been asked if there were an easy way to share
template sites and/or themes. This has always been hard to do but it occurs
to me that with templates, this will be MUCH easier. Similarly, we have a
problem of how to ensure dependencies are met for installing extensions.
