welcome.kid is effectively a static file. It has one dynamic element and extends master.kid. if you think there are problems putting some things in master.kid, just put them in welcome.kid I think all of the files should be included in the quickstarted project so that the user can really start tweaking from whatever is on the page. I do fully intend for TG apps to be skinnable down the line, which will give us some other nice options. If you look at the page you get with Rails, it's just a bit prettier and more useful a starting point.

Once we have skins for apps, it'll be a lot clearer how to package the overall look up in a reusable/customizable way.
