Centralizing assets/components

We haven't done much in the way of centralizing assets within Cascade. Instead we've been copying previous sites, but each site is basically independent at that point.

We're going to be developing a new framework for multiple sites to use, and would like to centralize as much as possible since they'll all be using similar layouts, etc.

Are there best practices in Cascade that we could use?

Which components can be centralized (formats, data definitions, images, CSS, etc.), and which can't or shouldn't be?

Should the centralized content be in a "site" or would it be in the Global area?

Any and all advice you might have along these lines would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    You may want to look at my Standard Model:

    I implemented the new Hannon Hill site in less than four days, using the reusable core.

    I have just learned that Nova Southeastern University http://www.nova.edu/ has implemented a one-region template associated with a couple of content types, using my design, in a very short period of time.
