I've just implemented something very like this on my own local copy. It looks
like it _should_ be pretty simple:
class StaticController < ApplicationController
def contact
end
end
But realistically, that won't actually work, it bombs out not being able to
find the Category class. Funnily enough, the following works:
class StaticController < ApplicationController
def contact
Category.find_all
end
end
This is all just temporary though. Really, I was thinking that static pages
should be stored in the database and CRUD via the admin interface. I should
get around to it and if/when I do I'll contribute back anything which doesn't
suck. ;-)
Finally, does anyone have suggestions on how to manage this sort of hackery?
For instance, if I just change the links on my site, I need to update
app/views/shared/_links.rhtml, but then when the next version of Typo comes
out it's bound to get squashed so I'd have to patch over my changes again.
CVS wouldn't be quite enough... it's like I need some kind of patch-based
versioning system.
Either that or we modify Typo until everything user-defined is in the database
(including the theme?) ;-)

I wanted to follow up on this a bit more. I realized that we could
easily add another field to the articles table called 'comment_count' so
that we could utilize the counter cache. For some reason, when Curt logs
into his admin area, it times out because the number of comments is in
the several thousand. Do you think that this would help things?
