Improving the templates in KDevelop/KAppTemplate

Sorry, I meant recommendation, not requirement. I always thought, 
KDevelop is a KDE IDE, but I think I am wrong ;)

This sounds like a good solution if the KDevelop related templates 
remain in the KDevelop project

That sounds like an interesting idea. With an internet service do you 
mean a webview based approach (Template manager displays the templates 
from a remote server) or something like the KDE Hot New Stuff Feature 
(Sven mentioned it) ? I am not quire sure how up2date & actively used 
the KNS system is ?

So, how should we move on with this question ?
