MVP for LB4 web site

[dhmlau]

Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal

Timebox for 1 week

For the LB4 web site, we can do it in stages.
The epic is captured in here: #817

As the first step, the goal is to have a very basic LB4 web site up based on the design team's design (https://ibm.invisionapp.com/share/S4F1BCJTG#/screens/270115273 - available behind firewall), i.e.

• standalone LB4 web site up and running
• landing page having different links to our existing LB4 content

The original task / epic has estimate of 20 pts.
connected to: #817

Acceptance Criteria

• Get the blueprint from design team
  • https://ibm.ent.box.com/s/tki7ffw4krc1l2lsbmy6avwmp7uhn1i5
• Make a new repository (v4.loopback.io) which will contain a GitHub Pages-based Jekyll site
  - are we using Bootstrap?
  Create new site with the following layout:
• Home - Landing Page (/)
• In landing page, there are multiple links
  • getting started --> http://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/Getting-started.html
  • contribute --> https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
  • docs --> http://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/
  • link to LB blog --> https://strongloop.com/strongblog
• Add the link somewhere in the loopback.io page

Needs discussion - what content do we want to show for resources and contribute.

resources points to:

• http://loopback.io/resources/ or
• new content?
• not to have Resources at all (for now)

contribute points to:

• https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md (preferred)
• https://loopback.io/doc/en/contrib/index.html

@strongloop/lb-next-dev , thoughts?

resources page already has a design with modified content / links to resources.

---

contribute should point to the new CONTRIBUTING doc since the site will be for LB4. That said, this content is heavily geared to our development style for LB4! As such I think we should preserve some of the old content (under docs for v2/v3) perhaps?

Is it a lot of effort to add it in? I'm thinking to get the MVP web site up and running, then can add more content incrementally. BTW, i've added one more option of not having Resources completely.

Since it's a LB4 web site and our intention is to keep LB2/LB3 and LB4 as separate sites. I guess that's even better?

Based on feedback we have so far, I've updated the acceptance criteria.
I'm removing resources, because we don't need it as the minimal viable product.

@strongloop/lb-next-dev , PTAL. Would like to get it estimated the coming Tue. Thanks!

@dhmlau have we decided which ui framework to use? BootStrap?
