Add is_featured boolean property to the Work model, so that Works can be designated as "featured" items in various places in the UI. This will be used to allow Sponsors, Programs, and Organizations to select Documents that should be included in their sidebar menus. Perhaps featured "site" Documents, such as site-wide Terms of Service, should probably be listed below the "User (sign-out)" menu, since the User will have to read and agree to these before being allowed to use the site. A collapsable Javascript sidebar is probably going to be needed soon... Patch by: Todd Larsen Review by: to-be-reviewed

  User is a separate Model class from Person because the same login 
  ID may be used to, for example, serve as Contributor in one Program 
  and a Reviewer in another.

  Also, this allows a Person to, in the future, re-associate that 
  Person entity with a different Google Account if necessary.

  A User entity participates in the following relationships implemented 
  as a db.ReferenceProperty elsewhere in another db.Model:

   persons)  a 1:many relationship of Person entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'persons' back-reference
     Query of the Person model 'user' reference.
     
   documents)  a 1:many relationship of Document entities identified by the
     User.  This relation is implemented as the 'user' back-reference
     Query of the Document model 'user' reference.

   groups)  a 1:many relationship of Group entities "founded" by the User.
     This relation is implemented as the 'groups' back-reference Query of
     the Group model 'founder' reference.
