Make use of PolyModel for Works, Documents, etc. Add some (but not all) of the missing Models related to Documents. Refactor site settings to be useful for any "/home" page view. Make the resulting home settings store a reference to the Document, rather than looking up the Document by a hard-code key name. This is to set the stage for Document editing being generic, and then being able to select from some existing documents which one to use as the "/home" static content. This makes it possible to pre-edit several Documents, have them Reviewed, and then quickly change the "/home" page content as a setting, rather than editing the Document in the settings form (though settings forms might still embed the current document into their form for convenience).
