Following up on the new features described by @dhcole in #217, @tristen and I embarked on a refactor of the underlying structure of Prose with the goal of building a more robust application that adhered to established Backbone.js conventions.

This work builds on the mission of Prose to be a viable alternative to traditional content management systems, replacing heavy backend infrastructure and databases with text files, leveraging the power of git for version control and relying on Jekyll for quick static site generation. In addition to concrete performance gains, the revised model layer unlocks the potential for more complex functionality that could be implemented in the future, such as comparing diffs of previous versions of a file. Hopefully this refactor will encourage other developers to contribute to Prose by lowering the barrier to commmunity contributions.
