I've been thinking a bit about this.

When I talk about an Aiki 'site' I normally mean everything, including
plugins, extensions and widgets, that make up a finished product, like Open
Font Library.

When I first started designing with Aiki, I scattered the custom files
throughout the assets folder in images, javascript, etc.

Later I learned to put all the custom files in a single extension folder to
keep it compartmentalized.

But I think this is misusing an extension. An extension should be a piece
of code that could work on any site (like a utility function).

In all honestly I don't care so much about "multiple sites" in Aiki. What I
value more is having an easy process to 1) install a new Aiki instance then
2)   install the needed plugins, extensions, and import the custom widgets
to make a new Aiki a real 'site.'
