Go Web Scaffolding

So this is something I have been getting around to doing for ages now. Today I was forced to do it, and Im glad.

Little back ground into the day:
A mate at work told me he was starting writing a go web service and wanted to ask a quick couple of questions on how to set up the scaffolding. I though
YES, at last, after all this time of me telling him to use go here we are
 So I start to explain what he needs to do to turn his functions into a web service. This all started to go horribly wrong when I noticed the structure of his code would never work. Not giving up I had 30 mins to try and restructure and explain what I was doing. This did not go well and I ended up breaking his project before having to leave. Now I didn't want to leave this as his lasting thought of go so....... I have created a quick Go Web Scaffolding repo. An hour later I went back to him, pleading I do know how to programme and have created a help guide for all his needs. Big success, I feel we have managed to turn things round and recruited another gopher today!

The repo is https://github.com/DigitalInnovation/goscaffolding

Please feel free to clone and comment on any set up structure you feel is required for a set up web service.

My end game is to run a generator that can create scaffolding projects for go.
