Consider replacing dependency "node-slate" with "whiteboard"

[dpilafian]

node-slate
A fork of a dead project that is a node implementation of Slate.
https://github.com/center-key/node-slate

whiteboard
A project closing in on a thousand stars that is a node implementation of Slate.
https://github.com/mpociot/whiteboard

...or make node-slate a fork of whiteboard.

I think this should be fast-tracked, as gulp-node-slate's outdated/abandoned dependencies are the source of almost all security vulnerabilities in my project. From npm audit:
