Hi,

Whenever I am working on small projects, it seems like an overkill to 
create an app usually with the same name as the website (and the project's 
name with a small modification). For instance, if I am creating a project 
for a small intranet application called Foo. I usually end up with a 
structure like:

foosite/
├── foo
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── models.py
│   ├── templates/
│   ├── tests.py
│   └── views.py
├── foosite
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── __init__.pyc
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── settings.pyc
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
└── manage.py

This seems quite redundant to me. Also foo contains all the assorted things 
which cannot be reused anyway. Is there a simpler way to implement this? I 
mean something similar to the original (pre-1.2?) structure of having 
models, templates and views in the initial directory itself?

Otherwise can we explicitly create models, templates and views in foosite 
itself and turn it into an app? I like this approach for smaller sites and 
for functionality which cannot be abstracted into a separate app. Ideally I 
would've preferred something flat, since "Flat is better than nested".

Would like to know the community's views on this? Any pros and cons would 
be great too.

Thanks,
Arun
