    Long story cut short: I've not been moving on Bit Vizier as fast
    as I wanted for a number of reasons. One of them is the pain that
    is managing the navigation bar from a development perspective. If
    I want to move things around, I have to update my controllers and
    my navigation bar template. If I need to rename something, I have
    to do the same. If I want to add a feature, I have to do the same.
    The navigation bar, the side bar, and any other menus are all
    easily determined from the code. Why do I have to maintain a
    separate template?

    With tgext.menu, I don't have to do so anymore. Instead of having
    a separate template, I simply have to provide a list of the menu
    entries, and the rest just happens. It makes dealing with things
    much easier.

    tgext.menu is available on the Python Package Index
    <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tgext.menu/> (for use with
    easy_install), and also on bitbucket.org
    <http://bitbucket.org/pedersen/tgext.menu/> (to get the source code).

    I'll apologize now for the shortness of this post. I'm still
    recovering from ear surgery, so mildly unavailable, but didn't
    want to hold this back any longer.

This is great news, Michael!  I've been looking forward to this 
release (though it may be a while before I really have time to explore 
it).  Thanks for this, and for the really clear README file.

For newbie's like me it would be really nice if this would be supported 
by quickstart in the future, i.e. do you want to use tgext.menu yes/no.
