A must

I've seen that the development team of Shape5 and the community are very active... and this is really a plus for Shape5!
The problem arises when the development team corrects the small errors reported by the community
There's no chance for the customer to know if the template he's using is the last (and more correct) one and the only solution to avoid problems in the future use of that template is to keeping it update everytime
My suggestion is to put a version id on the template (both in the filename and in the XML file) and keep a "history" log of all the released versions
The best will be a RSS feed and a forum topic pointing to that revision history
Will be really helpful

We've been discussing this and what will be doing from now on is putting a sticky post in each template board called "Last Update" This sticky post will contain information about updates concerning that particular template.

This sounds good
However, I really suggest the adoption of a version number, at least in the template's XML; otherwise after short while nobody of us will know the exact revision we had installed on our environments
Second, since the huge number of questions/updates around your *awesome* eMercantilism template, I'm wondering if it could be included in the templates you will maintain the changes of; no real need for the past updates, just from now on
Regards
