1 Templates are placed in a "namespace" subdirectory in the templates directory,

     2 since the templates directory will be added to the Django templates search

     3 path.  This allows other packages to extend existing templates without "hiding"

     4 the original template.  For example, a template in another Melange application

     5 can extend a template in the SoC framework like this:

     6 

     7   {% extends 'soc/some_existing_template.html %}

     8 

     9 without "hiding" the some_existing_template.html for other uses, even if the

    10 derived template is also named some_existing_template.html.

    11 

    12 So, please do not put any templates in this soc/templates directory, but only

    13 place them in the soc/templates/soc "namespace" subdirectory.

    14 

    15 Different Melange applications should also follow this pattern, to promote

    16 sharing of templates between applications as well.  For exmample, the GSoC

    17 Melange application should place its templates in gsoc/templates/gsoc.
