Description
The current "Add Site +" button we see once logged into WebWrite is designed for adding an existing site that already has inlinegui and restapi plugins installed.
We need to change the functionality of that button to spawn a new DocPad instance/website. I started on a plugin called "Docpad-instance-spawn" before here:
https://github.com/mikeumus/docpad-instance-spawn
My code is not the best though so what I have may need to be re-factored or simply read once only. DocPad documentation talks about creating DocPad instances as well on DocPad.org like here: http://docpad.org/docs/api#create-your-docpad-instance

"Each docpad site needs to be isolated from one another, via lvm, docker, or their own vms. You would have a restapi that would create the docpad env, clone out the site, and install the deps, and boot it up."
Ben already has a DropTask on how a DocPad SaaS may work with Digital Ocean here: https://www.droptask.com/projects/527d1353c6a6bd0200000810
We'll be using Polymer elements for this piece instead of RestAPI though. This is okay with Ben.
The only inputs asked of the user for this will be the "Name" of the website and the DocPad "skeleton" to set as the base template. The name doesn't have to be required, it can default to "Unnamed".
