Note to all: the Apache-Turbine-20000712.tar.gz snapshot doesn't
compile, but the latest CVS codebase does.

Thanks, got it. But please bear with me. I think you mean the
following:
# This is the default layout to apply.
# Default: DefaultLayout
layout.default=FreeMarkerSiteLayout
# This is the default page module. You probably do not want
# to modify this.
# (I don't?!?!?)
# Default: DefaultPage
page.default=FreeMarkerSitePage
BUT, should I change any of the following? (Note the guesses)
# default: /default.wm
# Used by the Turbine as the default if no other templates are
specified
default.template=/default.fm
# Used to set the template homepage if you are using a
# template layout.
# default: /index.wm
template.homepage=/index.fm
# This is the default screen to show to people when they
# first access the system. You can override this by
# specifying module.packages to include your own modules.
### Where FMLogin extends BaseFreeMarkerScreen
screen.homepage=FMLogin
# This is the page that is shown on an incorrect login
# attempt. It is referenced in the LoginUser action
### Where FMLogin extends BaseFreeMarkerScreen
screen.login=FMLogin
# This is the default error screen
### Where FMError extends BaseFreeMarkerScreen
screen.error=FMError

Noted, thanks.

Which ugly syntax? I find FM much easier on the eyes, and unlike
WebMacro, it doesn't give you enough rope to hang yourself.
I'm currently in a race with my junior developer. If I configure
Turbine with FreeMarker before he configures it with WebMacro, then
we're using FreeMarker. If I win, we'll try to schedule time to
improve the Turbine FreeMarker integration, including the improvements
you mention.
