It would be nice if the files in _output/ could be assigned a dir and file name matching their calculated url variable.

I'm trying to create a blog, and was hoping that I could write blog posts as files named like:

_source/posts/0001.md
_source/posts/0002.md

...and have them automatically outputted as:

_output/2015/08/foo-bar-baz.html
_output/2015/08/yada-yada-yada.html

But alas, even though dapper calculates the correct url variable (thanks to the urlpattern setting) it always writes the output files using the same filenames as the source files:

_output/posts/0001.md
_output/posts/0002.md

How is the web server supposed to know about the correct URL to serve them under, then?

The README section on "Variables" has this to say about the site hash: "All site variables are defined in _config.yml, and are available in layouts as [% site.* %]".

However, there is at least one important site variable which is not defined in _config.yml, namely site.pages. I only found out about it because a completely unrelated example in that README happens to use it to demonstrate a for statement. It would be nice if all the available variables were properly documented in the "Variable" section.

App/Dapper/Serve.pm is not on CPAN only in GitHub.

Due to the way the initialisation and parsing is done, most of the dapper commands will not read the _config.yaml at all and therefore will not use the correct directories, especially the output Directory.
