Hello everyone,

Since we're in the process of getting bootstrapped, I wanted to improve on
our website a bit, especially since we have a new logo.

The first site was built using Maven sites. To be honest, it presented a
bit of a problem because many of the Beam committers have used GitHub docs
to date and wanted a system which was somewhat similar. Since GH docs is
built on Jekyll (as far as I know) I figured that might actually be an
easier way to build the website anyway.

So, I just updated the incubator website. with an exact copy of the old
site but using Jekyll + Bootstrap 3. That should hopefully make it easier
for anyone and everyone to work against (and to move existing docs.)

The repository for the current site is here:

https://github.com/evilsoapbox/beam-site

I also have a tgz of the old site in case there's any concern or
disagreement. Needless to say, when we sort out the CCLAs (which should be
very soon) I'd like to get this in a project repo somewhere so we can have
better version control and review.

Finally, the theme is basic bootstrap with a few changes (like using Roboto
as the font to match the logo.) I figure if/when there's interest in
detailed design, we can cover that as a seperate discussion.

Cheers!

James
