What's the difference between this and torchbox/wagtail/wagtail/project_template? Shouldn't one of them be removed to avoid confusion and reduce duplicate work?

Hi @edrex, The project template in the wagtail repo is designed to be a minimal configuration with few external dependencies, to get people up and running as quickly as possible with or without Vagrant - so, for example, it uses sqlite as the database, and has Elasticsearch / OpenCV support disabled. It also sticks fairly closely to Django's own template, so that we're not pushing a project structure that other developers might disagree with.

The wagtail-template project is a more 'opinionated' template, following Torchbox's preferred practices (e.g. using Vagrant as standard so that we can have Postgres and Elasticsearch out of the box, and adding a Sphinx documentation directory) and designed in the first instance for our own use, but hopefully useful to others too.

Yep, we probably need some messaging somewhere to explain this :-)
