Now that we have 3 git repos(nifi, nifi-site, nifi-maven-plugin), I think we 
could do a few things to make navigating them better.


1) Is this [1] page active anymore?  Has it been replaced by a non incubator 
version?  All if its references are to -incubator things... This is where I 
used to go to find links to our various repos.

2) Our primary website [2] doesn't have any links or references to the 
nifi-site repo, or the nifi-maven-plugin repo

3) The nifi-site repo has a nice Readme.md [3] that tells you how to make 
updates to the site... but since this isn't mirrored on github there's no way 
to view the formatted version


This left me confused when I was attempting to update the release guide last 
night for NIFI-851, because first I couldn't find the nifi-site repo, then I 
had a hard time reading the Readme.md. I think we could improve both of those 
things.


I don't know what the right thing to do about 1) is.  For 2) I think we should 
have links to those repos in the quickstart guide(or somewhere else) so people 
know they exist.  For 3) I think we should github mirror those repos.  I know 
Joe asked about this a few days ago and I didn't say anything because I didn't 
see the need at the time.  Now I do.  I think viewing the readme alone is worth 
it.  Plus I find github to be much betterfor navigating the repo and viewing 
logs.


Anyone have any thoughts on this?
