[.NET Core 2.0] Add boosters for .NET Core 2.0

[omajid]

This is just a tracker for adding boosters for .NET Core 2.0 to the catalog so .NET Core appears on the new project wizard on openshif.io

Some questions:

• Which boosters are simplest/easiest for getting something small up and running?
• What boosters are users likely to find the most useful?
• What does an optimized (for developer productivity and low resource usage) implementation of something like the http-rest booster look like? Does it involve ASP.NET Core MVC or something less complicated?
• In terms of language, do we need anything other than C#? Are either VB or F# worth looking into?

See also https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/dotnet-example/pull/1 for a something similar but for the older quickstart approach.

I'm not sure what the policy is for adding new Missions so that we can add new boosters that don't quite fit the current list of mission categories.

@omajid I wonder if the http-rest is the best place to start; just a little quickstart doing some simple REST API? You could do one super simple and another using the more complicated ASP.NET Core MVC? Though TBH I'd be pretty happy with just 1 booster in the catalog that worked in fabric8/OSIO ;)

I guess C# is the most important; but having a booster for VB & F# would be handy eventually.

@omajid You can find instructions on how to create a new Booster here: https://github.com/openshiftio/appdev-documentation/wiki/Creating-a-new-Booster

In that case: https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/dotnet-example is probably already good enough.

Closing this issue, as I believe it's in the wrong repository. Let's discuss about this in the fabric8-launcher forum
