 Right now that hasn't really saved us a lot of code.  However, now that we're using Resources rather than Views, we actually don't need to design the urlconf ourselves.  The conventions for wiring up resources into views and urls can be handled automatically, using `Router` classes.  All we need to do is register the appropriate resources with a router, and let it do the rest.  Here's our re-wired `urls.py` file.
