[aerogear-dev] Website restructure

[Corinne Krych]

Hello All,

I’ve being working on sass branch [1], the same branch Erik-Jan did its initial work. 
Here is more feedback on our site redesign

1. Example page with each language code snippet
It’s a good idea, to show the unified aspect of our libs. Having a short snippet code is great, however it’s not possible to fit the detailed example we alreday have in our documentation. Rather than simplifying and not going into details, I think we could have a main page like [2] which give the definition + each snippet. Below the code snipet I’ve added a link: 
Read more on Pipes on Android / Pipes on iOS / Paging on Web
which points to detailled page.

I think we should keep this documetation. It goes deeper in the sample code as opposed to snippet which is not necessarly complete code. One think that we could do is use code sample extracted from our cookbook recipe. So we can point to the repository for the full app code.

@Hylke Do you have a better idea than just a simple link? I think it’s not visual enough. And what should be the layout of the detailled example page?

2. New structure
As hylke asked for it, here a proposal, wdyt?
_ Core
__ Pipe
__ Paging
__ Store

_ Security
__ Authentication
__ Encryption

_ Push
__ Registration
__ Sender 
 
3. Refactoring of each documentaiton is needed to fit this structure:
How do we want to proceed? One guy is doing the full refactor of doc (poor guy) or we split it into a bunch of JIRAs?
Maybe as @qmx suggested once we’ve go the structure we could merge the PR and find a way to progressively refactor. 

4. markdown or asciidoc ?
It’s a great opportunity to unify our doc. asciidoc offers great plugins. For example page, we use tab plugin.

5. Dracula theme vs White theme
If you uncomment [3] you can have a white theme. A shame that with Dracula theme we loose the AeroGear blue and orange logo...
@Hylke for the dracula theme we need AG logo in each of the 3 colors.

5. Menu
@Hylke you said you want to remove the actual menu, but what do you propose to navigate between topic: Core/Security/Push/Sync

6. Mobile site
New design need to be responsive. Actual CSS are not any more. But we can fix them ;)
