I think it would be nice to have somewhere best practices regarding how 
to arrange files, TS and so on. The video Steffen created shows a 
"templates" directory in fileadmin with a subfolder with the template 
name. That is the way TV works. But personnaly I go one step further and 
create a "ts" directory inside, next to the "css", the "images" and the 
"js" subdirectories containing .txt files for my whole TS configuration. 
I have a config.txt, a templavoila.txt, ... and I include them in 
template TS with TS file inclusion code. Further, my constants contain 
comments before in order to be able to edit them confortably from 
Constant Editor.

I think storing TS externally is necessary as the code becomes very very 
long with time and it is difficult to edit.
