Absolutely; in fact, you should not think about it as “offering content of the 
VIVALDI-1 store”, but “content from the warehouse”.

The warehouse has all this content .. and stores just choose which of that 
content to show. So anything in VIVALDI-1 can be shown in WRomey_store as long 
as they share a warehouse. (Which they do :)

So, if you wanted to add all the wallpapers, you’d simply create a top level 
“Wallpaper” channel, perhaps even with the same sub-channels in the VIVALDI-1 
store .. and you’d see the same content.

One thing that I want to implement (though it is not scheduled for the next 
release) is channel templates so the warehouse can offer a “all the wallpapers” 
definition and by adding it to your store you automatically get the wallpaper 
channels populated for you, and then if you want you can customize it from 
there.

It will save everyone a lot of work in the long run, I think. I actually 
prototyped this for the Project Gutenberg books to see how well it would work 
.. and it worked very well. I need to make it a generic feature and add it to 
Bodega at some point.
