[Rock-dev] Proposal for a Rock website redesign

[Steffen Planthaber]

Hi,

I played a bit around with the github API to extract a package list 
using js.

Here is a first result:
http://planthaber.github.io/rock-package-list/packages.html

Comments/Opinions are welcome.

I would have liked to write the Contributors directly to this page, but 
the requests per hour are limited to 60 by the api. Requesting the 
contributors needs one request per package, so the limit would be 
already reached while loading the first time.

Currently the page is requesting three organisations, so currently 3 
requests are made per page load.

Best, Steffen
