I made the QextMDI template within 3 hours. And I think it´s easy to add
a new template since there´s already stuff you just can copy´n´rename.

Look out for KDevelop2 where many things become basically rewritten.

I think it´s clear what to do. You only must create your
XYZtemplate.tar.gz for kdevelop/template (by using other templates as
template :-)
Second you must hack ckappwizard.h|cpp.
That file is big but clear to understand. Logically you just go through
the wizard tabs and add the demanded things for each tab page. Again and
again there are about 10 equal lines, each one for one kind of project.
Don´t hesitate to add the 11th line for your template (by copy the 10th
and replace the names and strings for your stuff).

The same procedure as from above... It´s not C++ but that shouldn´t
matter.

You will get it! :-)

If you want (and have got an idea for a much easier solution), you can
rewrite it and patch it with KDevelop2 (the cvs HEAD branch).
In my opinion, every effort for basic changes and feature addition
should be done on KDevelop2 and not on 1.1.

Tschuess,
