Reason

This PR focuses on improving the UI/UX for the Zapdos website by:

  • Making edits to the front page and navigation bar
  • Adding documentation pages on the models utilized in Zapdos
  • Adding tutorial pages
  • Adding verification and validation pages

Design

This PR will make the following changes to the website:

  • Edits to the navigation bar, which includes:
    • Having "Publications" be its own tab
    • Moving "Contributing Guidelines" and "Code Standards" into a new tab called "Contributing"
    • Adding a "Plasma Models" and "Verification & Validation" link to the Documentation tab
    • Removing MOOSE and libMesh Doxygen links from the Documentation tab, and adding a new link to the MOOSE Framework Development page
    • Removing "Tutorial Slides" and "CRANE Examples" links and replacing it with a "Example and Tutorials" link under the "Getting Started" tab.
  • Edits to the front page, which includes:
    • Change the subtitle from "An open source MOOSE Framework application for the simulation of plasmas" to "An open-source application for plasma simulations"
    • Adding a short description, with links to the new "Plasma Models" page and the MOOSE landing page
    • Replacing "Multi-scale" and "Multi-platform" sub-topics to "Verification & Validation" and "Collaborative Community"
    • Reform the descriptions for each sub-topic from sentence format to bullet point format, with extra links
    • Add INL and University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign logos
  • A new page with a overview of the models utilized in Zapdos
  • A new overview page for the Zapdos tutorials and sub-pages for each tutorial
  • A new overview page for the V&V and sub-pages for each case

Impact

The additions to the website will decrease the cost-of-entry for new Zapdos users, and make it easier to add new case examples to the website in the future.

One off-hand comment since I glanced through the changeset. Can we just use the logo stored in MOOSE (in framework/doc I think) instead of taking up space in Zapdos?

Are you talking about the logo on the front page of the MOOSE website? We can use that, I just thought the blue logo with the text below "INL" fit better with the other logos, instead of the black logo with the text beside "INL".

There should be another version of this blue logo in one of the media directories. Look for it in large media as well. I might be misremembering where it is located. Multiple configurations on the INL logo are stored.

I found it. For future reference, it is located in moose/python/chigger/logos/inl_blue.png
