[x] I have checked the existing issues and couldn't find an issue about this bug.
Some issues which may be related: #633, #662 and #577
Issue details
During the research software templates session in RSECon24, there were several comments in the mentimeter which I have interpreted as related to the different profiles which are available through the template.
At the moment, 3 profiles are available. We should revise these profiles to make sure:
User profiles cover the different needs of various groups (potentially) using the template.
It is clear to users that they can use the template for different profiles.
It is clear to users when to use which profile.
Mentimeter comments were along the lines:
Templates often too detailed. A minimal version would be good;
A very small one for mini projects;
Should support customisation. Different groups have subtly different needs;
Consensus as to what practices should be included can be challenging;
Conformance levels - maybe matched to project maturity;
There should be well-defined extension points
It may be worth considering other templates too: if a particular use-case/profile is already covered by another template, we could just refer people to that template instead of trying to cater for everyone.
