I agree here.  Before we can let marketing have at this, though, we need
to get the code infrastructure in place.  I think TTSite is the right
direction, but there are some problems with it, and I think we need a
TTSite++ or something like that.

Goals for that:

* Move config from root/lib/config to the myapp.* config file
* Add framework for templates:
  - main page (no more header/footer, just a wrapper)
  - reusable widgets (nav header/footer / sidebar, etc.)
* make it easy to change themes, if possible
  - have a base ttsite.css and then an overridable site.css, if possible
* things that I'm forgetting right now
* I'm not a big fan of the src/ lib/ static/ layout, maube do something
  else?

After that, we can turn it over to the web designers to make things
pretty.  That's not something I'm qualified to do ;)

Other things:

* ::Helper that will have an "add page" command, that will create the
  .tt file, and add an action in the relevant controller (PPI)

Comments / code welcome.
