Static Site generator

[douglasdollars]

Does not need to be part of generator-dharma, in fact keeping it apart from it may keep this simple.

We make a lot of static sites, and they need to be made quickly to remain profitable, so a minimum of configuration and setup when using this is important.

@mich88's version at Chop Chop was set up using Grunt.

Needs for this to be viable

• generator uses some base template for static sites (HTML 5 boilerplate, or base single HTML file, or whatever we've used lately)
• base template contains a style reset (likely already there by default)
• a basic typography stylesheet is set
• consistent output paths for HTML and script/css directories

  Nice to add (libraries/code for our always-there items)

• hide-and-show top nav
• pre-included Twitter and Facebook sharing code
• Google Analytics code block
• an address/contact block with pre-set schema/microdata tags (dev ends up just changing the address!)

  Also

• Generate a basic readme (text or html) to enter which browsers are supported, the day the first launch happened, gotchas or other things to consider if picking up the project months later
• Linking or generation of the necessary device icons (Chrome, Apple, etc.) to match whatever is needed in the template

See also the Project Brief doc (in Haven / CLYW) and find a way to potentially merge that content in with the readme
