some redo of the Website to support additional things being released

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

Because we're releasing lots of new stuff, I think our webpages need 
some updating.  Here's a proposal:

1) home page: add short paragraphs for uima-as, annotators, tools 
(CasEditor), simple-server - the set of things in the sandbox we're 
releasing this time around (this might be done over time, as things get 
released)  To keep the initial view small, add a summary paragraph / 
list to show as the first thing at the top, with links to these 
paragraphs. 

2) documentation page:  make a table to concisely show docs - rows would 
be for different things being released, columns would be for things like 
pdf, html, apidocs, etc.

3) download page: make a table to concisely show links to download - 
same rows as above, but columns would be for things like current vs link 
to archives, binary, source, link to eclipse update site, gpg/md5/sha1 
verifications (maybe, not sure...)

4) updates to the Project Team page - list more people, especially the 
contributors of annotators, and uima-as components (with their 
permission).  Names only, no links/emails (for respecting privacy) 
unless specifically wanted.  (Thilo links his to home page on Apache).

Other opinions?

Another thing to add: the "how to do a release" for the various 
sub-projects.  For now, I suggest just adding this to the main 
how-to-do-a-release.  For instance, to release the uima-as requires a 
build process which includes running the tag script and then 
extracting/building the base uima before doing the uima-as build 
(because it depends on the local repository having the proper build of 
the base).

Sounds good to me. +1

Overall, sounds good.  Note that there is a sandbox page already.
Your sandbox links should go there, I think.
