First try with a fresh install.

This can take a moment...

See docpad/docpad#894.

TL;DR: don't use skeletons; docpad team can't or won't keep them up to date.

Agreed, I've always avoided skeletons and always "rolled my own". Invested some time into https://github.com/RobLoach/generator-docpad to ease the process, but in the end always found it easiest to start from scratch each time. We could push the generator forwards on /docpad/generator-docpad and deprecate the skeletons... Where do you see things going?

[garthk]

@balupton asked for pull requests to mark broken skeletons. I'm not sure there'll be sufficient coverage to fix the out-of-box problem. The future might well resemble the present.
