using the GUI, it's not really saving me anything because I'm gong to have
to break out Python to finish the job anyway.  It doesn't seem like it
would be that much more work to add 3 file browse fields and the form code
to upload them (or fields for off-set URLs if that's all that's supported).
 Similarly, why document how to handcraft a URL for testing purposes
(slug/presenter) when it'd be trivial to add a "Test Presenter" button to
the app management page.

Has anyone actually created, debugged, and deployed an app by following
these directions without having direct access to the PyBoss server?  If
not, that would probably be a useful exercise.
