First attempt address #19
There are two challenges.
a) To decide what a noob-intro to LinuxCNC could look like
b) Integrate this somehow into the home page in a way that does not look too bad
For now, I hope to just focus on a), i.e. find the right things to talk about and then find the right words that neither offend the individual hearing those words the first time nor any of the LinuxCNC devs. This PR introduces an HTML table that connects CAD, CAM, LinuxCNC, Machine, Control Panel with descriptions. What is missing is the notion of the HAL but that should then be a second schema.
I hope to also come up with many hyperlinks to the documentation/the wiki for more details and also to other sites, like FreeCAD.
Wrt b), I like the news section to somehow either appear next to this description or right below it. Below the news I then think I would want to mix showcases of retrofits and new builds with a notion of costs associated to get going. Something smallish that would qualify as a present for a kid (and myself) would be great.
