Create templates for OOD app types to support app deployment
We have a number of OOD "apps" that we deploy to our instance like Matlab, Ansys, SaS and many others.
It would be good to have a template that we can use to instantiate new apps for different applications (eg. QGIS) that could be cloned, customized, and pushed to it's own repo in gitlab or github.
We have been using the OSC Matlab app as a template for our desktop applications. It would be best if we had our own explicitly defined template that would serve as reference for how our apps should be written. This supports maintaining the template and getting the latest version for new apps. The new versions can be merged into existing apps as well after defined releases.
This also avoids the restrictions of explicit simple forks from an upstream on GitHub into a shared project space. You can only fork such a repo once which prevents the "templating" approach we have used.
