Hey Olly,

So finally I managed to setup and implement the Omega server in my
vagrantbox with dynamic CGI. I would like to know what is the good first
step to add HTML5 templates(
https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ProjectIdeas#ReworkOmegatemplatestousemoremodernwebtechniques).
I know that Omega uses templates for opensearch,query and few more. Also
Can you please hint me towards setting up a ticket for the task (I can't
find ticket for HTML5 subtask here :
https://trac.xapian.org/report/1?sort=component&asc=1&page=1).

Thanks.
