As we head towards to 2.0 release, I have a couple of thoughts and ideas that I wanted to share.

These thoughts were based around doing an install of 1.9.3 (many thanks to all especially Paul and Mike Hansen for the effort they have put in).

Templates & Translations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the distribution comes with a few different templates, and hopefully as we finialise 2.0 more translations. One thought that I had was to seperate out the different Templates and Translations into seperate installable files, so that Koha itself is only distributed with the default templates in english.

The same could also be done for new templates ie. vanilla-en-1.9.3.tar.gz. This may encourage people to add new Templates, to the point of we could possible have a themes.koha.org etc.

A few weeks ago I suggested to create a "add-on" category for things that are NOT in the main distro but can be installed. The 1st sample was RSS feed. Localized templates could be the second.
