Frank,

Looks like it just needs some fleshing out in the details,  you  
didn't leave much out.  :c)

One question, should the templates be focused or somewhat generalized  
so a single template can work for all, or maybe some general  
questions with a business/technology focused group of questions added  
on, there may also be need to have a set of question related to the  
specific project itself, possibly originating with the author, I like  
the second method, because it allows some flexibility in how the  
interview can proceed, the general questions can be sort of the base  
stuff that everyone should answer, that sort of thing.
