I've never gotten past these warnings and errors and it'd be very nice to be able to use docpad so I am grateful for any ideas on how to rid my seeming Docpad curse. Thank you.

Answer 1

Yeah the skeleton is broken, I don't know who's maintaining it. Like I mentioned in IRC, for others that might read/need I'll post here too...
You can use a empty folder and do this from the shell or you can just use the empty template:
cd $(mktemp -d) && npm i docpad docpad-plugin-hogan && \
mkdir -p src/{documents,files,layouts} && \
curl https://raw.github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-hogan/master/test/src/documents/hogan.html.hogan \
> src/documents/index.html.hogan && docpad run
Should work to demonstrate hogan plugin and docpad itself work fine.
Personally I always start with a package.json but thats just how I like to do it, define plugins as you need them in there but you can all just do it manually as well... Or use the basic HTML5 boilerplate plugin and then add docpad-plugin-hogan etc.
Or wait until it get fixed if you must have that skeleton...
