I am not fully following what is in the README. I have understood that the site generator needs messages so the sidebar could be added to the site.
The files residing under `./plugin/sidebar`: `sidebar.tmpl` and `sidebar-helper.tmpl` are also crucial for the generator to render a side bar. I would appreciate it if you could you provide some pointers of what could be the issue.
