Create a simple view before showing off admin and models

[bmispelon]

The main objective of this is to have a view mounted at the root so that when we deploy the site to heroku later, there's a page that appears instead of a blank page.

It might also help make the chapter 1 more concrete (showing the request/response cycle, how you map URLs to views, ...).

I would put it at the end of chapter 8, after the reader sees the default "It works" page that Django generates.

Something as simple as:

def say_hello(request):
    return HttpResponse('Hello!')

This sounds like a great idea and a good solution to #204.

Yes, excellent idea.

+1 from me! (Is it creepy that while I wait to board my flight I'm looking through old issues?)
