Hi guys,

I've been working a bit ion a customisation of the quick start page
(the one that shows up when you've created a new TG project - "Are you
ready to gear up?"), and I have a few considerations.

As it is now, changing the quick start page means changing welcome.kid
and possibly master.kid, which will probably break some of our
tutorials, since to make the page really spiffy, we're probably going
to have to use CSS and perhaps other advanced layout techniques. So
what to do? Rails have a static HTML file with their start page, but
isn't it rather complicated to have TG return flat HTML files instead
of template-generated goodness?

We could also leave it out of the project files and instead have it as
a part of the TG files (those in site-packages) and then have the
default controllers.py expose those files instead
(@expose(template="turbogears.quickstart")), but that also needs
explanation. The benefit of this, however, is that we can make the file
as spiffy as we want to, without confusing the user with lots and lots
of CSS and strange layout tricks.

At any rate, that's my idea, although I'm a bit uncertain if this it's
a good one :)
