Hi Gary, Jonny and all,

I support the idea of a non-complicated one-step (or one-configuration)
approach as base for average users.

Tiki is massive and I frequentlky witness users (even admins) being
overchallenged by the sheer amount of options.

To make basic configurations complicated in a mandatory way is imho the
opposit way than the route we should go.
We have to make life easier for the users.

Not to missunderstand: I LOVE 'custom modules' and a 'custom module zone
module' etc. might be more than awesome, make Tiki outstanding in
another more aspect.

But! We are on the way losing the average user.

I usually use plain html Bootstrap Navbars with smarty and all types of
modules and menus inside.
This is one way to use Tikis capabilities.

A MyModuleZone might be another way for a number of users.

But the easiest way and fully appropriate I think is the layout approach
of Gary. Why we should get rid of it? It is optional.
