Hi guys,

over the last couple of weeks (in particular after presenting on TP3 in
Seattle at the end of June) I have gotten some feedback from a number of
folks who wanted to try out TP3 but didn't know where to start or what to
do.
A lot of that comes back to the current homepage:
http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/

While this page contains all the information experienced TP users would
want to find, newbies seem to get lost:
- It doesn't really explain what TinkerPop is or does beyond the generic
statement "provides graph computing capabilities". Why should somebody care
about TP3? What does it do specifically? What does it look like in practice?
- There is no "Getting Started". While the documentation is a beautifully
written and comprehensive document, for a total newcomer it is very
overwhelming.

Not saying that the website is bad, but that it doesn't serve newcomers and
interested developers very well.
I would suggest that we delegate some information (e.g. 3rd party
libraries, how to contribute) to subpages and use the homepage to help
newcomers figure out what this is.
I think Apache Spark does a reasonable job at this:
https://spark.apache.org/

Would you guys mind if I took a crack at this with Daniel's help on getting
started and some examples? If so, how can I get access to the page to make
some suggested changes?

Thanks,
Matthias
