Hi Magga,

In our projects we put all browser views in the subdir `browser`, REST
views in the subdir `rest` and so on. Grok and fanstatic do not stand
in the way of sub-packaging your application.

The `static` syntax is useful for people getting started with grok,
consider using `context/++resource++$your_app_name` as described
above.
