renaming "samples" to "templates"

Hi

I think to have a common terminology we should rename the "samples" 
directory
to "templates" directory (in the case of resource-types).

WDYT?

*but*: we also have template publications, and that might need 
clarification.
so if you choose to rename the samples, the docs should make explicit at 
any time whether they are talking about *document templates* or 
*publication templates*.

I think "template" is much better for this.

I don't mind, as long as the naming is consistent.

No. Why? 

I do not see the benefit and please give people time to enter the
discussion, after *one* day you cannot say that nobody has an opinion
about it.

nobody seems to have an opinion, so I guess that means everyone agrees
or doesn't mind.

Again, what is your opinion?

Ok, I will start renaming all "samples" to "templates"

I know, I am refactoring this ATM so hold your breath ;)

Well if *every* other module is having "samples" but only one not, then
this is highly confusing!!! ...and to change it back is highly
constructuve. ;)

I just harmonized it. If you want to rename *all* dirs then please start
a vote/proposal thread and wait till other people express their
opinion. 

If you do not wait for this to happen, then please do not be suprised
that people change things back to the silent accepted standard we have
ATM.

also I might add that when you change stuff back, that you should do it 
the full length ;-)

src/modules/opendocument/config/cocoon-xconf/resource-type-opendocument.xconf

and honestly I don't think your changings are very constructive, but 
rather saying this
is how it is (although it nowhere says so) and let's leave it like this 
(without expressing an opinion).

I don't think there is confusion.

I might note that I introduced the term "samples" in the first place, 
but am recognizing
that most people within the CM world is using the word "templates" and I 
think it makes
sense, because these files are being used as templates ...

So I think I am rather helping people to be less confused.

Hmm, not sure but I saw that you started to do so. I think we should
find a verdict first and then do it everywhere the same. We should not
cause more confusion that we already may have.

The most used now is samples.
