I've been thinking about this more and trying to clarify the vision of this. What is the end result that we want? This might be a better question: How will people find and download this? That will help figure out what the end product is. I imagine a really simple page that lists a `curl` command (or in Windows, something different) that downloads the bundle to the place the user specifies. We could also have the volo commands for downloading it. I'd like to have both, because not everyone is going to want to use volo. The bundle that the user downloads without volo could simply be the volo template, not sure. I'd like for this to be more opinionated than not. If it isn't very opinionated, what's the point of it? It's supposed to be an easy starting point which bundles in a bunch of libraries. We should just pick libraries and bundle them in and not worry about allowing the user to choose. If they want to, they can change a js library or something, or not use our bundle at all. Just my thoughts right now. I'm going to start gathering together various js libraries for apps (app cache, etc), and also work with dbuc on x-tags.

While we *want* this it is not a k9o blocker.

I've made good progress and am trying to get it together with a demo site.
I'm going to close this one out. Mortar exists, and the challenge is now promoting it on the devhub and keeping to develop it as a product, but the basic task here is done. Thanks James!
