I noticed that a lot of manual editing was required to make whimsy.conf work. It is replacing "/Users/rubys/git/whimsy" with where I had whimsy checked out. But it seems like we shouldn't necessarily need whimsy checked out, but instead a folder for whimsy, which could be a symlink. It would be better if we could standardize this file and recommend in the setup instructions that people create symlink from /srv/www/whimsy (for instance) to wherever they have whimsy checked out.
