Description
Suggestions:
Project source templates should be consolidated into one location.
Template variations should be discoverable by the Project Generator based on the target platform.
Advanced users should be able to select alternative templates. This will enable users to create their own code style and automatically add licensing and other headers.
Support naming schemes other than testApp.* (e.g. ofApp.* or ofExampleApp.* via advanced options. @kylemcdonald
Support for "minimal" single file oF example (a la @kylemcdonald)

Research direction
Start by locating the Project Generator and the existing project source templates. Map how templates are currently stored and selected across target platforms, then define how alternative naming schemes, custom headers, and a minimal single-file example should be represented. Done means the generator can discover platform-specific templates and advanced users can select the requested alternatives.
