Hey Jeff,

Thanks again for spending some time on IRC recently.  I've spent a bit
more time on this, and have developed a few questions I hope you can answer.

First, one of the things I've been struggling with was getting the style
applied to the homepage.  After trying a number of misguided things, I
actually looked at $sitehome/en-US/index.html and found this:

$('#splash').load("https://admin.fedoraproject.org/docs-backend//en-US/splash.html
.article");

The main copy on the page is loaded by this function, and of course it
strips the <head> out - so no CSS comes with. What we *do* get is:

- chrome.css
- site_overrides.css
- splash.css

With your help, site_overrides.css is coming from the docsite-publican
(home) package now.  The other two files I had to manually copy in from
/usr/share/publican, and if I recall correctly, I ended up copying over
all of /usr/share/publican/sitetemplate/ . - Is there an RPM method for
doing this?

The CSS files that aren't coming along are:

- db4.css
- brand.css
- print.css

This doesn't seem right.  The home page should have the branding,
right?   Is a custom site template needed here?
