I don't think its too far from the messeging mechanism Jesper has 
already implemented.  I agree that the priority on this one is rather low.

My view is that the templates are at the core of our research.  They are 
equivelent to Scaldemina's scaffolds.  We want to use them to direct 
users towards particular forms of argumentation.  So, I expect we will 
have quite a few small templates, and that these will evolve a lot over 
time. Even if the structure stays the same, wording changes.  Remember 
our first packaging scheme had "README" in the first hole. After we 
observed the childrun, we changed it to "Instructions". Semanticaly the 
same, but much more in tune with the hildren's lagnuage.  I think we 
need to support at least this level of editing with out python. Now that 
I think of it, I think these templates should be editable via the 
web-interface.
