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).

  Documentation is items like tax forms, letters from schools confirming
  enrollment, etc., (often scanned in) that are attached to a Role as
  documentation related to that Role.

  The specific way that some properties and relations inherited from Work
  are used with a piece of Documentation are described below.

  work.title: The title of the Documentation (e.g. "Verification
    of Eligibility").

  work.abstract: Summary of the contents of the 'attachment', or
    just an indication that the required documentation was 
    supplied but is not actually attached.

  work.authors: The Authors of the Work referred to by this 
    relation are the Administrators (or Hosts) creating the
    Documentation.

  work.reviews: Annotations to the Documentation made by other
    Administrators.
