    new mesa3d.org website · 1bc7bafe

    Here's my proposal for a new website for mesa3d.org, minus most of the
    content. This consists of a front-page and a news-archive, and not much
    more. The rest of the content will be linked to docs.mesa3d.org, which
    will contain the technical documentation.
    
    This separation between techincal documentation and a "marketing"
    website, allows us to use the best tools for each purpose:
    - Sphix is great at creating techical documentation, but lacks features
      like pagination for news archives, and is not very flexible in how
      much can be specialized.
    - Hugo is great for building websites, but can't easily generate other
      documentation formats, and it's tree-structure isn't as nice for
      in-tree documentation.
    
    There's only the front-page (and the 404-page) for now. In particular,
    here's what's missing as of this commit:
    1. The news will be converted from the main repo by some scripts in a
       later commmit.
    2. Similarly, link-compatibility redirects will be converted from the
       main repo in a later commit as well.
    3. The release archive is missing. We never advertised this under
       mesa3d.org, but rather mesa.freedesktop.org. The fact that these
       sites point to the same one is an implementation-detail.
    4. Any custom pages are left out for now. We can iterate on the
       separation between this and the docs site after we've landed the
       initial version, I think.
