Subject: [Xerte] Templates question

Are there more (project? LO?) templates available? If so, where can I find them?
Not really, not for XOT, not yet.

We currently have 4 templates in our XOT installation: 'Xerte Online Toolkit', 'Media Interactions', 'Multiple Perspectives' and 'RSS Feed'. The first template ('Xerte Online Toolkits') appears to include all of the page types/templates that are found in the others.
Although some of the functionality from those separate project templates has been merged into the main XOT template e.g. multiple perspectives they haven't all been merged in and media interactions and RSS are different project templates e.g. the RSS project template is for creating RSS feeds rather than including RSS feeds that you will find in the main template. In short these are the main 4 project templates and to maintain backwards compatibility are likely to remain in place even if replicated in the main XOT template.  

If more templates aren't available anywhere, what is the reason for having the four we currently have when we could just have the one ('Xerte Online
Toolkit') that includes all the different page types?

Can anyone explain or point me to where I can find out more?

Apologies if this is a rather basic question (I'm still fairly new to Xerte) but I can't seem to find an answer in the archives.
Thanks in advance

Oli
