Something that I would find extremely useful is a collection of "common" or
"recommended" baseline supersets for typical kinds of products --
application, framework, etc. At least put something like this in the
documentation -- or a tutorial.
There are lots of us out here -- even some of us who have a reasonable
amount of experience -- who are just flopping around and experimenting to
see what works. I have no way of knowing whether what I finally release is
really "right."
It won't help to tell me that there isn't any "right" superset. I need a
common, sensible baseline from which I can customize incrementally and
intelligently. The settings I see when I create a new project from a default
template don't make any sense to me. And even if they're right, it would be
good to let me get them from the drawer as well as by creating a new project
from a template -- for those occasions when I have messed things up totally
and would like to restart from the baseline without creating a new target or
project.
