I think that a flag may not even be necessary -- the TT syntax won't conflict with the current letter formats, and is unlikely to be entered accidentally. I think that we could simply silently start to support TT, and no one would be the wiser, except for those who want to use it. This also addresses Heather's concern -- the initial transition would be essentially un-noticable. On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 10:22 AM, Galen Charlton <gmc@esilibrary.com> wrote:

I think Jonathan has an excellent plan of attack, but it does require a complete switchover all at once.
Rather than forcing a complete switchover right off the bat, I suggest adding a flag that specifies whether old-style or TT templates are in effect for a given notice. That way, we'll have much more flexibility to design the new templating mechanism to take full advantage of Template Toolkit, and folks will have the ability to migrate their notices definitions on their own schedule.
