We will do this for samples and sample will have a manifest like widgets.

That's seems like an entirely separate issue, but maybe i am misunderstanding. Are samples meant to be template? This ticket refers to the creation of usable controller templates.

Yup your right the controller template is a separate issue. Could you give a quick example of a controller template, and use case?

Let's say you wanted a "tabgroup" template that mimicked Titanium's default 2 tabbed app. Your controller could be generated something like this:

index.xml

   <Alloy>
       <TabGroup>
           <Tab title="Tab 1">
               <Window title="Tab 1">
                   <Label>Tab 1</Label>
               <Window>
           </Tab>
           <Tab title="Tab 2">
               <Window title="Tab 2">
                   <Label>Tab 2</Label>
               <Window>
           </Tab>
       </TabGroup>
   </Alloy>

index.js

   $.index.open();

The alloy new command can now generate new projects based on a template name. The current list of template names can be found here: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/tree/master/templates Right now they are "default" and "two_tabbed". An alloy project utilizing the "two_tabbed" template would be created like this: alloy new . two_tabbed

Michael Xia has requested that we add images and descriptions to each template that can be read by tistudio. I am awaiting details on those.

Added new images and description README files to the 2 alloy templates
