[cdi-dev] Having an official CDI tutorial and user forum

[Jens Schumann]

Agreed, we need a tutorial.

We should also review the current cdi-spec.org FAQ section since it covers
advanced topics mostly while leaving out basic topics. The current
cdi-spec FAQ section doesn't honor CDI 1.1 so far.

See issues at https://github.com/cdi-spec/cdi-spec.org/issues.
