Migrate fluentd-website to GitHub Pages

[fujimotos]

This proposal discusses the future of https://fluentd.org.

Background

• Fluentd.org is important part of Fluentd. Most users access, research and download Fluentd from that site.
• Nevertheless, it is currently under-maintained. Most contents are left as-is since circa 2012.
• Moreover, it is unnecessarily hard to manage --- built as a Ruby application, although it's really just a static site.

The Proposal

• MIgrate the web hosting to GitHub Pages.
• Use static site generator (such as sphinx) to generate the static HTML.

Security Discussion

• This proposal should greatly improve the securiy of fluentd.org.
• The web hosting stack gets a automatic security update by GitHub.
• We don't need to keep updating heroku/puma and others any more (i.e. Need to upgrade Heroku stack #121).

I think we should completely revamp the Fluentd site

I think we should completely revamp the Fluentd site

Do you have any design idea? We basically need to do:

1. A good design template (HTML templates + CSS).
2. Migrate existing contents to new design.
3. Publish the new site.
4. Switch https://fluentd.org to the new site.

Maybe I can cooperate with you to make it happen.

@agup006 @fujimotos I would like to work on this 👀

What's your thought on using Static Site Generators? Eg. Docusaurus
