+We use a special directory structure here that allows you to define
+your own set of templates than inherit from a common base.
+
+To create your own templates:
+
+Create your new directory as a sibling of base/
+    `mkdir my_templates`
+
+Now you can override any template file in base/ by creating a file of the same name in my_templates.
+
+For example, to replace base/booking/booking_table.html,
+you would create my_templates/booking/booking_table.html. Your template will be loaded instead of the original.
+
+
+You can also inherit from the base templates. For example, if you
+wanted to add to base/dashboard/landing.html, you can create
+a template at my_templates/dashboard/landing.html and add this line to
+the top of the file:
+    {% extends base/dashboard/landing.html %}
+
+This way you can add in new {% block %} tags to the parents and define only
+the new content you need without affecting the default behavior.
+
+
+When your template directory is ready, you must add it to your config.env

+This app creates "workflows", which are long and complex interactions from the user.
+Workflows are composed of multiple steps. At each step the user inputs some information.
+The content of one step may impact following steps.
+
+The WorkflowStep object is the abstract type for all the workflow steps.
+Important attributes and methods:
+
+template - the django template to use when rendering this step
+valid - the status code from WorkflowStepStatus
+
+get_context() - returns a dictionary that is used when rendering this step's template
+    You should always call super's get_context and add / overwrite any data into that
+    dictionary
+
+post(data, user) - this method is called when the step is POST'd to.
+    data is from the request object, suitable for a Form's constructor
+
+
+Repository
+Each step has a reference to a shared repository (self.repo).
+The repo is a key-value store that allows the steps to share data
+
+Steps render based on the current state of the repo. For example, a step
+may get information about each host the user said they want and ask for additional
+input for each machine.
+Because the steps render based on what is in the repo, a user can easily go back to
+a previous step and change some data. This data will change in the repo and
+affect later steps accordingly.
+
+Everything stored in the repo is temporary. After a workflow has been completed, the repo
+is translated into Django models and saved to the database.
