ss3-website initial framework

[e-perl-NOAA]

In developing a new website for SS3, we need to create a framework for what types of pages/information/vignettes we would like to include in the website. Not all of these pages need to be put together for us to officially publish the new website, but a tab with an "under construction" image on that page will at least let users know what a particular page will contain.

The current pages are:

• Main landing page (Index)
• SS3 User Manuals
  • Citing the SS3 User Manual
  • HTML Version
  • PDF Version (downloads pdf)
• Tutorials for Getting Started
  • Getting Started with Stock Synthesis
  • Developing Your First Stock Synthesis Model
  • Important SS3 Set-Up Decisions
• Vignettes for Model Features
  • Start Year Considerations (still needs pictures according to the word document this was taken from, @Rick-Methot-NOAA what pictures were you imagining there?)
  • Predators
  • Settlement Timing

What other pages/info should be included? Any suggestions would be helpful! Feel free to make edits/suggestions in a branch and submit a PR.

Goal for switching to the new website: January/February 2024

The website is a big improvement. I can't think of specific info that should be added at this point and it seems that we can extend and expand at any time after rolling out the initial site in a month or two.

I'm particularly impressed by the flowcharts in the Important SS3 Set-up Decisions page and the fact that the flowcharts are based on an easy to read script where changes can be tracked by git: https://github.com/nmfs-ost/ss3-website/blob/main/website/qmds/ss3_setup_decisions.qmd so I can make suggestions via Pull Request.

Yes! This is looking great. Agree with Ian about the flowcharts, which have great potential. Flagging them for Jason: @shcaba
